When i was in my 20s, I dated the president of the Young Republicans for a county in California.
She had access to some of the data for the November of 1982 mid term election.
This was a gubernatorial election.
The Republican nominee for Governor was the sitting State Attorney General, George Deukmejian (given name Courken George Deukmejian Jr.).
He garnered the nickname over the years of “Duke” (likely because of his unusual first name and the spelling of his last name).
My girlfriend told me what the percentage was (it wasn’t a determinant, and it was low….but it should have been zero!), and I don’t remember the number, but some people voted for Deukmejian because they thought he was John Wayne
.
Deukmejian was elected to and served two terms as Governor of California.
