The US Presidential Election of 1968 was an interesting one to say the least. It marks one of the few times a third party has been able to make a significant dent in the electoral college. So what if Wallace and the American Independent Party had been able to secure enough electoral votes to throw the election to the House of Representatives?



In the above scenario, Wallace wins both Carolinas and Tennessee while the Democrats win in Nevada. This leaves the GOP just short of 50% of the Electoral College and thus IIRC throws the fate of the election to the House.

My question is this how would Wallace's impact on the election be felt and what would it be?
