The 1960 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election . Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College , who voted for president and vice president .
Montana narrowly voted for the Republican nominee, Vice President Richard Nixon , over the Democratic nominee, Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy . Nixon won Montana by a slim margin of 2.50%. Kennedy thus became the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying Montana since Grover Cleveland in 1892 , as well as the first ever Democrat to do so without carrying Carter , Liberty , Phillips , Richland , or Sanders Counties, the first to do so without carrying Fergus or Jefferson Counties since Cleveland in 1892, and the first to do so without carrying Custer , Missoula or Musselshell Counties since Woodrow Wilson in 1912 . This is the first time since 1900 in which Montana would vote for the losing candidate in a presidential election.
