All fifty states and The District of Columbia were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. State voters chose six electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Arizona was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan by a landslide of 32%.http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1980&off=0&elect=0&fips=4&f=0 1980 Presidential General Election Results – Arizona May 17, 2015 Uselectionatlas.org This result left the state 22.62% more Republican than the nation at-large, a differential greater even than when Barry Goldwater narrowly won his home state during his 1964 landslide defeat, and the most Republican relative to the nation at-large Arizona has ever been since statehood in 1912.Counting the Votes; Arizona https://web.archive.org/web/20170223213143/http://www.countingthevotes.com/arizona 2017-02-23 Reagan's victory margin was at the time the largest by a Republican, though he would beat his own record four years later. Only Franklin D. Roosevelt won Arizona by a larger margin in 1932 and 1936, whilst Carter's share of the popular vote remains the worst ever by a Democrat in Arizona. Reagan won every county except for heavily unionized Greenlee, which would never vote Republican until 2000,Menendez Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, p. 121 0786422173 in the process duplicating the state's 1972 county map. As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last election that Apache County has supported the Republican nominee.Sullivan, Robert David; ‘How the Red and Blue Map Evolved Over the Past Century’; America Magazine in The National Catholic Review; June 29, 2016 Carter's insensitivity to essential issues in the West, especially water supply,Reisner, Marc; Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water; p. 11 0140178244 ensured he would be comfortably beaten in this normally solidly Republican state, which had been the only state no Democrat carried during the dealigned 1960s and 1970s.
