Henry D. Irwin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry D. Irwin Henry D. Irwin was a Republican Presidential Elector (from Oklahoma) for the 1960 U.S. presidential election who became a "faithless elector" when he declined to vote as pledged. Irwin is the only presidential elector in American election history to try to convince his fellow presidential electors to change their vote. =="Could not stomach" Nixon== In the 1960 Presidential election, Irwin, who had been pledged to vote for then Vice President Richard Nixon (of California) and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. (of Massachusetts), instead cast his presidential electoral ballot for Harry F. Byrd, who was a conservative Democratic Senator from Virginia. Unlike other electors who voted for Byrd for president, Irwin cast his vice presidential electoral vote for Arizona Republican Senator Barry Goldwater. Irwin later admitted in an interview with CBS that he "could not stomach" Nixon.〔(Faithless Electors: Henry D. Irwin )〕
