Voters chose three representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Wyoming was won by incumbent President Gerald Ford (R–Michigan), with 59.30% of the popular vote, against Jimmy Carter (D–Georgia), with 39.81% of the popular vote. Carter's vote would be the highest percent received by a Democrat since Lyndon Johnson's victory 1964, and to date, remains the highest percentage a Democrat has received in the period since then (Bill Clinton came closer to winning the state in terms of margin of victory in 1992 and 1996, though with a reduced percentage due to the strong third party candidacy of Ross Perot). Despite losing in Wyoming, Carter went on to win the national election and became the 39th president of the United States.Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas; 1976 Presidential General Election Results – Wyoming With 59.3 percent of the popular vote, Wyoming would prove to be Ford's third strongest state in the 1976 election after neighboring Utah and Idaho.https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1976&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1976 Presidential Election Statistics Dave Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections 2018-03-05 This was the first time Laramie County voted for a losing candidate since 1892.
