About the 1967 governor elections

Kentucky and Mississippi held governor elections in 1967, during Lyndon Johnson's presidency, as opposition to the Vietnam War grew and civil rights reshaped Southern politics. In Kentucky, Republican Louie B. Nunn defeated Democrat Henry Ward by about three points. Nunn had nearly won in 1963, and his victory gave Republicans the governorship for the first time since the 1940s. In Mississippi, Democrat John Bell Williams beat Republican Rubel L. Phillips by about 31 points. Williams had been stripped of his seniority in the U.S. House for backing Barry Goldwater in 1964, which only helped him with white Mississippi voters. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 had begun to add Black voters to the rolls, but state politics remained dominated by segregationist Democrats.
