There was no U.S. Presidential election in 1961. Then-Vice-President Richard M. Nixon just barely lost to then-Senator John F. Kennedy in 1960.

The 1960 U.S. Presidential Election was the first of only two times that the loser carried more states than the winner (the 2nd was in 1976, when Gov. Carter won despite Pres. Ford's carrying more states).
