Campaign

James H. Gray Sr., the chair of the Georgia Democratic Party, supported Goldwater.[2] Calvin F. Craig, the head of the Ku Klux Klan in Georgia, supported Goldwater as he saw the election as a battle between Goldwater's "Americanism" and Johnson's "socialism".[3] A "Democrats for Goldwater" group was also organized by the "Citizens' Council".[4]

The majority of opinion polls between July and early October[5] suggested that, despite this widespread opposition to Johnson's programs, Goldwater would not win Georgia. In fact, in early August, Georgia was viewed as alongside Arkansas and North Carolina as the most secure southern state for Johnson.[6] Nevertheless, those Democratic Party delegates who refused to support Goldwater because of his policies on rural electrification and subsidies to tobacco farmers were concerned that Goldwater could carry Georgia – and the entire South – as early as late August.[7]

Moreover, in Valdosta in the far south, the region where resistance to black civil rights was most extreme, white union workers in September had been polled as supporting Goldwater 315 to 19, with 1 vote for George Wallace who would carry the state in 1968.[8] By the end of September, it was clear that the state was bitterly divided, with the previously rock-solid Democratic south rooting for Goldwater but defections from Republican support during the previous election in the northern counties appearing to be almost as widespread,[9] because there was some hope Johnson could reverse large population declines and win support through his program of War on Poverty.[10] By the end of October, amidst much campaigning in the state by both Johnson and Goldwater, it was generally thought Georgia was leaning towards the Republicans.[11]

Compared to the previous election, Georgia swung to the Republicans by over 34%. Among the rural areas of the "black belt" and the south of the state, there were enormous swings to Goldwater.[12] Only 55% of those Georgian voters who supported Nixon in 1960 remained with Goldwater.[13] Goldwater received 65% of the white vote.[14]

During the concurrent House elections of 1964 in Georgia, Republicans picked up a seat from the Democrats, that being the Third District House seat won by Howard Callaway who became the first Republican to be elected to the House of Representatives from Georgia since Reconstruction.

Results

Pro-Union and almost entirely white Appalachia, which previously supported Republican candidates, gave Towns County to the Democrats for the first time since 1952, and nearly switched Gilmer and Pickens Counties. [15][16]
