In 1972, It was Democratic Nominee George McGovern's home state and despite a national landslide, it was the only state that swung to the left from 1968. In 1976, President Gerald Ford only narrowly won the State over Carter by a slim 1.5%. Given this competitive streak for South Dakota, Reagan's overwhelming win in the state was especially surprising with the state swinging 27.4 points to the right this election.
