From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1976 United States presidential election in Montana was part of the 1976 United States presidential election, which took place on November 2, 1976. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Montana voted for the Republican nominee, President Gerald Ford, over the Democratic nominee, former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. Ford won Montana by a margin of 7.44%. As of the 2020 presidential election[update], this is the last election in which McCone County and Wibaux County voted for a Democratic Presidential candidate.[1] Carter became the first ever Democrat to win the White House without carrying Daniels, Judith Basin, Pondera, Teton, or Toole Counties, as well as the first to do so without carrying Cascade County since Grover Clevelandin1892, and the first to do so without carrying ChouteauorValley Counties since Woodrow Wilsonin1912.
