Unsupported Opinion

[edit]

The article, as of September 11, 2019, includes the observation that Carter's 1976 victory in Texas "was a relatively weak performance for a victorious Democratic candidate in Texas." This is pure opinion. Nothing is cited to support this view. Carter won the state with more than 50 percent of the vote, the first Democrat in 12 years to win a majority of Texas voters. And he would be the last Democrat, as of 2016, to carry the state. I challenge the view that this is a "weak" performance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.111.106.155 (talk) 20:08, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Martin County is shown as blue in the map and table, but not mentioned in the list of counties that last voted blue in 1976. It's also listed as voting Ford in this election on its county page. The list also says "seventy-three" before listing just 70. What's going on here?--SorichZiSorania (talk) 00:52, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
