From what I know, Virginia bucked the trend of the South that year, not only rejecting Jimmy Carter but reelecting an Independent Senator, Harry F. Bryd, Jr. over the Democratic nominee. I think that another factor in Carter losing Virginia was the relative poor turnout of blacks there. He clobbered Ford there 91 to 5 percent, but the turnout was rather low. Carter also underperformed in most metropolitan areas there.
