1) As someone from the South who remembers George Wallace, all it takes is knowing Alabama history to know that "party switch" is a MYTH.

Wallace was a life long Democrat. He NEVER switched parties.
1963 ran & won as Dem. for Gov. (& put his wife in to run as Dem. Gov 1967-68). 2) 1968 ran & lost as Dem. for POTUS but WON the 5 state that had voted for Goldwater (an extremist in his own party).
1970 ran & WON as a Dem. for Gov. as a HARD-LINE SEGREGATIONIST (AFTER Civil Rights Act passed in 1964).
