California Bay Area had some McGovern -> Ford swings.
Most of them were traditionally swing areas but became solid D in the 80's and even more solid after that.

Sorry to break the rules, but George McGovern himself. From Wikipedia:

Unfamiliar and uncomfortable with Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter, McGovern secretly voted for Ford instead.

Anti-War Republican, alternatively a hippie who got a good paying job and sold out as a result.

Non-religious voter who voted for Ford because the media made Carter out to be a evangelical crazy guy when he was nothing like that in office.
