Elections in New Mexico |
---|
The 1980 United States presidential election in New Mexico took place on November 4, 1980. All 50 states and The District of Columbia, were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. State voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
New Mexico was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan by an 18-point landslide. [1] President of the United States Jimmy Carter failed to gain reelection against Reagan. New Mexico election results reflect the Republican Party's re-consolidation under what is popularly called the "Reagan Revolution," [2] which sounded overwhelming conservative electoral victories across the United States. As of the 2020 presidential election [update] , this is the last time when McKinley County and Grant County voted for a Republican presidential candidate. [3] To date, Jimmy Carter remains the only Democrat to have been elected president without ever winning the state of New Mexico in an election since the state’s founding. He is also the first of only two presidents to have held office to have never won the state with Donald Trump having lost the state consecutively in 2016 and 2020.
