Election official Faye Wilson, left in doorway, talked with Brenda Spencer in the Ivy Patch precinct No. 6 in Lee County on Nov. 6, 1984. Spencer’s husband, Loftis Spencer, left, waited outside. The presidential contest was between incumbent President Ronald Reagan, the Republican candidate, and former Vice President Walter Mondale, the Democratic candidate. Reagan carried 49 of the 50 states, becoming one of only two candidates to do so (the other was Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential election). Photo by Gary Landers
