Lloyd W. Bailey (March 24, 1928 – August 12, 2020[1]) was a physician and ophthalmologist from Rocky Mount, North Carolina,[2] who achieved notoriety as a faithless elector during the 1968 U.S. presidential election. On December 16, 1968,[3][4] he became the 145th faithless elector in the history of the United States Electoral College.[5] Because Bailey did not vote for Nixon, the candidate received 301 electoral votes instead of the expected 302 electoral votes (based on state results). But Bailey's vote did not affect the outcome of the election, and Nixon was elected.[6]
