The1980 United States presidential election in Michigan took place on November 4, 1980. All fifty states and theDistrict of Columbia participated in the1980 United States presidential election. Voters chose 21 electors to theElectoral College, who voted forpresident andvice president.
Michigan was won by former California governorRonald Reagan (R) by 6.5%.[3] This result nonetheless made Michigan 3.2% moreDemocratic than the nation at large. This is despite the fact that it voted to the right of the nation by over seven points in1976, whenfavorite sonGerald Ford won Michigan.
Along withMaine,New York,Mississippi, andVermont, Michigan was one of the few states in which President Carter won counties that had gone to Ford in the previous presidential election, as Carter flipped bothWashtenaw andMarquette.
