Title: Re: Three best performances by each party in the 10 largest states since 1952 Post by: Alben Barkley on May 03, 2020, 06:41:47 PM Carter seemed to do slightly better in Georgia in 1976 than Stevenson in 1956. Carter got 66.7%, Stevenson 66.5%. Though Ford got 33.0% of the vote while Eisenhower got 32.7%. It's extremely marginal no matter how you slice it, I guess. If you're going by margin, it was like 0.1 points more for Stevenson, while Carter got 0.2 points more of the vote.
Carter did win every county in the state, however -- the first and only time a Democrat has ever done that in Georgia -- which should count for something.

Carter did win every county in the state, however -- the first and only time a Democrat has ever done that in Georgia -- which should count for something. Carter accomplished this by managing to win a number of counties in North Georgia-such as Fannin, Towns, and Pickens-that did not vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt, even as he won Georgia with over 80% or 90% of the vote. These counties are ancestrally Unionist areas which were Republican enclaves within the state following the end of Reconstruction. |
