Nevada was won by Former California Governor Ronald Reagan (R), who won the state with a 36-point landslide.[1]
Starting with this election, the winner of every presidential election won Nevada, until 2016, Donald Trump won the presidency despite losing the state.[2]
Likely owing to criticism of Carter for his inability to understand specifically Western issues, mainly the region's problems with water supply,[3] the 1980 result is the most Republican Nevada has ever been relative to the nation as a whole since statehood.[4]
