The 1976 election outcome was closer in the E.P.P. reality than in actual fact,
with Jimmy Carter topping the "Needed to Win" mark by only 331 points, as well
as having only a 904 point edge over Gerald Ford.
Any combination of better popular vote performances by Ford and MacBride could
have resulted in either a Ford victory, or a Ford-Carter run-off.
