Elections in Wisconsin |
---|
The 1960 Wisconsin gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 1960. Democrat Gaylord Nelson won the election with 51.5% of the vote, retaining his position as Governor of Wisconsin.
However, the election was seen as a shock to Democrats, who lost in Racine, Sheboygan and Vilas counties (which were seen as generally blue areas) and were expecting a wider margin of victory. Nelson's 50,000-vote majority in Milwaukee County was credited as a key reason that the statewide result was not even closer.[1]
