They either thought Carter was to the right of Ford or they always vote for the most experienced candidate.

An African American?  I know Carter went from like 80% among them in 1976 to around 92% in 1980.

Who are these people? George McGovern has publicly stated he voted this way.
Why on Earth would George McGovern vote for Ford in 1976? No one thought Ford was to the left of Carter. Plus Ford was part of the Nixon adminsitration

Yeah, I find it hard to understand too.

Carter led the "Never McGovern" movement at the 1972 Dem Convention. McGovern probably didn't forget that.

And much of the Northeast. Ford was a much more compatible choice for a certain type of voter up there than was Reagan. If Anderson hasn't also been a candidate they'd have been a lot more Ford/Carter voters.
