Democrat Jimmy Carter who ran as a "Washington outsider" won a narrow victory over Republican incumbent Gerald Ford in the 1976 Presidential election.
1976 U. S. Presidential / Vice Presidential Election Results:
270 votes (50.2%) - minimum required
297 votes (55.2%) - Gov. Jimmy Carter of GA / U. S. Sen. Walter Mondale of MN (Dem. Pty.)
240 votes (44.6%) - Pres. Gerald R. Ford of MI / U. S. Sen. Bob Dole of KS (Rep. Pty.)
1 vote (0.2%) - Gov. Ronald Reagan of CA / U. S. Sen. Bob Dole of KS
This was the last U. S. Presidential/ Vice Presidential election to date in which the incumbent president was nominated for reelection but the incumbent vice president (Nelson Rockefeller) was not.
This was the second of two U. S. Presidential/ Vice Presidential elections to date in which the runners-up carried more states than the winners.
This is an example of the relatively rare occurrence of a "faithless elector" not voting as pledged. In this case an elector from Washington state voted for Ronald Reagan, who competed against the incumbent President for the Republican nomination.
