It’s so interesting to me how states can swing so much from one party to another in the span of just 4 years. This was, of course, back when we weren’t such a politically polarized nation. Still, it’s interesting to look at.... especially Georgia!

First point is true, but as far as the second point it really isn't that simple, because even in spite of Watergate, 1976 was extremely close, OH/MS/WI were within 2% of flipping red.

What a difference shared ethno-regional identity made for white Southerners, who still saw themselves as Democrats regionally (& voted for white Southern Dems in down-ballot elections) despite voting for Nixon nationally over a civil rights Minnesotan & race quota South Dakotan.
