I... I played as Nixon in 1960. As a hardcore pro-civil rights and "heir to Eisenhower" candidate. 314 EVs and 49.8% of the popular vote. JFK won 209 EVs and 49.7% of the popular vote, while Byrd won 0.5% of the PV.
I won Texas (51.1 to 48.9), Florida (51 to 49), Virginia (51.2 to 48.8), Tennessee (52.3 to 47.7), Kentucky (51.9 to 48.1). I lost Wisconsin (50.4 to 49.6), West Virginia (50.5 to 49.5), Delaware (50.6 to 49.4), New Jersey (50.7 to 49.3), South Carolina (51 to 49), North Carolina (51.6 to 48.4), and Illinois (51.2 to 48.8).
The highest Kennedy percentage was in Rhode Island (62.8 to 37.2). The highest Nixon win was Nebraska (59.1 to 40.9).
