lfll-lllf 'IEIIQIEATI TIQISID IDIIQIESIIIDIENTFIIAXIL IDANCIE Ronald Reagan had been working toward that particular moment for at least eight years. And that moment came at approximately 8:50 p.m. CST, November 4, 1980, when the state of New York gave him its 41 electoral votes. That action was the final boost he needed, as it put him 39 votes over 1 fi.. the 270 needed to become the 40th President of the United States. Reagan was also popular with the public sector. He received about 51 percent of the national vote. The in- cumbent, Jimmy Carter, got 41 per- cent of the votes, and Independent Party candidate John Anderson won seven percent of the tally. When the electoral vote-counting was over, Reagan had picked up 489 of them, thereby carrying 44 states. Carter won the support of only six states, which gave him their com- bined 49 votes. Anderson received no electoral votes, and so carried no states. Reagan's overwhelming win was such widespread support. There has never been a more humbling moment in my life, he told cheering supporters at a victory celebration that evening. Jimmy Carter was frank but polite in his concession speech. l can't stand here tonight and tell you it doesn't hurt, he said. But I pledge our fullest support and cooperation in bringing about an or- derly transition of government. Carter's concession speech caused a bit of a furor because it was delivered long before the polls on the West Coast closed, which some thought may have made potential voters out there stay home feeling Q, F T almost completely unexpected.

Three 'o ' voting booths with red-white-and- .-' blue curtains were set up, and ballots 5 were distributed to quite a number of ' people there.
