Carter in Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky (among the states you mentioned).  Ford in the rest, though some must have been close.

I don't think you can explain the Carter blowout in NC without it, or TN for that matter, but we agree there.  KY would have been over 90% white back then so I agree even though it was closer.

TX, LA, and MS are clear no's.  IDK about AL and SC.  Those margins are pretty high and those county maps are pretty uniform. 

If AA turnout was decent, that would have put Carter over the top in AL and SC.  The county maps look uniform since Carter won rural whites, but Ford performed very well among whites in metropolitan areas. 

North Carolina must have been close.

I just realized that Clinton did better in Louisiana in 1996 than Carter did there in 1976. How did that happen?

Clinton had more suburban appeal?
