he won a nomination on one ballot
Carter succeeded Gerald Ford as president partly due to the public opinion that Ford should not have pardoned Nixon, and that the pardon was part of some 'secret deal' between Nixon and Ford. During his presidential campaign, Carter also gave the public impression that he would clean up Washington DC.

As part of his campaign strategy, Carter tried to influence as many regions as possible before any other candidate could. He had visited 37 states and delivered over 200 speeches before any of the other presidential candidates had announce they were in the race.

Jimmy Carters willingness to compromise hampered him during his presidency. It was taken as a sign of weakness by his opponents and he couldn't get any of his agenda passed.
