Washington, D.C. was won by incumbent President Jimmy Carter (D) by a 61-point landslide.[1]
Carter's 74.9% of the vote represents the lowest vote won by a Democrat in the District of Columbia, while also being the sole presidential election when the Democratic candidate (albeit very narrowly) did not earn at least 75% of the district's vote. Anderson's 9.3% is also the highest a non-major party candidate ever got in D.C.
