Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - E rua nga tautohetohe a te perehitini i whakahaerehia, engari kaore a Carter i whakaae ki te whai waahi ki te whakauruhia a Anderson, no reira ko te tautohetohe tuatahi i waenga i a Reagan me Anderson anake. Kotahi wiki i mua i te ra pōti, i whakaritea tētahi atu tautohetohe i waenganui i te peresideni Carter me Reagan; kihai i karangatia a Anderson. I te rā pōtitanga, i wikitoria a Ronald Reagan i te pōtitanga mā te wikitoria i te 51% ōrau o te pōti whānui me ngā pōti pōti 489 ki ngā pōti pōti 49 o Carter. I te 69 o ona tau, ko Reagan te kaitono perehitini tawhito rawa atu i wikitoria i te pooti perehitini. I whakamanuhiritia ia e te Perehitini Carter i te Whare Ma i te Noema 20, 1980. I whakatūria ia
i te 20 o Hanuere 1981.
