Yes but as the previous poster said he would likely have lost the popular vote. The Southern States voted strongly for Carter thus he would have still won the popular vote.
President Ford was always teased for having not been elected to the VP or Presidential terms he served. Had he won the presidential race this way there would have been some polarization and some would be sour that he was elected president without carrying the popular vote. Similiar to what Bush went through after "defeating" Gore.
I would have voted for President Ford and believe he was a good president for his short 2 years.
