Title: Georgia, 1972-1976 Post by: Arbitrage1980 on November 12, 2017, 04:37:13 PM Is this the biggest swing in a state between consecutive presidential elections? I can't think of any that beats it. In 1972 Nixon won Georgia by a whopping 50.4% margin and won every single county. Just four years later, hometown favorite Jimmy Carter won it by 33.8% and also swept every county.
