The1976 United States presidential election in Texas was held on November 2, 1976, as part of the1976 United States presidential election.Texas was won by former governorJimmy Carter ofGeorgia with 51.14% of the vote,[2] giving him 26 electoral votes. This result made Texas about 1% more Democratic than the nation-at-large. He also beat the incumbent PresidentGerald Ford in the general election. To date, this remains the last time that a Democratic presidential candidate won Texas, and the last time Texas voted more Democratic than the nation-at-large.
Carter's southern roots as a formergovernor of Georgia struck a chord with many voters in Texas, along with strong anti-Republican sentiment followingWatergate. Still, this was a relatively weak performance for a victorious Democratic candidate in Texas, and two factors can be identified. One was Carter's underwhelming performance in the more rural counties, and the second being President Ford's strong performances inDallas andHarris counties, and some of their surrounding suburbs. The rise of the Republican Party in these areas would result inRonald Reagan's win in the statefour years later.
Carter won 191 of the state's 254 counties, including 74 which have never voted Democratic in any presidential race since:Martin,Grayson,Chambers,Motley,Gaines,Live Oak,Mason,Sherman,Colorado,Stephens,Lamb,Oldham,Floyd,Real,Fayette,Terry,Donley,Parmer,Dallam,Moore,Hale,Wheeler,Bailey,Armstrong,Hamilton,Goliad,Carson,Childress,Collingsworth,Wilbarger,Wilson,Castro,Eastland,Gonzales,Parker,Hood,Johnson,Anderson,Brazoria,Matagorda,Kinney,Medina,Wharton,Lavaca,Archer,Bosque,Aransas,Bell,Borden,Brown,Burnet,Callahan,Cochran,Coryell,Walker,Shackelford,King,Jeff Davis,Wichita,McLennan,Llano,Hockley,Garza,Hunt,Young,Wood,Jackson,Lynn,Howard,Ellis, andLampasas.[3]
