1976 United States presidential election in Mississippi
While Carter performed well in northern Mississippi and in black majority counties along the Mississippi River , President Ford’s wins in Hinds County ( Jackson ) and neighboring Rankin County , both of which were won with over sixty percent of the vote , along with a substantial win in Harrison County ( Biloxi and Gulfport ) , kept the race in Mississippi extremely close .
