Bầu cử tổng thống Hoa Kỳ tại Nevada năm 1980

The 1980 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 4, 1980. All 50 states and The District of Columbia were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Nevada was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan (R), who won the state with a 36-point landslide. Reagan's margin of victory was especially impressive as four years earlier, Nevada had been a swing state, only going for Ford by a narrow 4.36%. Nevada swung nearly 32 points to towards the Republicans this election.

Likely owing to criticism of Carter for his inability to understand specifically Western issues, mainly the region's problems with water supply, Reagan won the state handily. Starting with this election, the winner of every presidential election won Nevada until 2016. Nevada came out 26% more Republican than the nation at-large.

In July of that year, Reagan campaigned with Republican House of Representatives candidate Vince Saunders. Despite this, in the House of Representatives election, Democrat James David Santini won with more than 70% of the vote.
