Why did Jimmy Carter perform so well in Kansas in the 1976 election against Ford? Carter won several counties across the state, including some typically deep-red central and western KS counties. Ford's base was considered the Midwest while Carter's in the South, and Kansas before and since '76 has been a very safe Republican state in presidential politics outside of a few Democratic landslides. What was Carter's appeal to Kansans in 1976?
