Carter, a moderate southern Democrat and former governor of Georgia, defeated Republican President Gerald Ford in 1976, but in his 1980 re-election bid he lost to Ronald Reagan, who won by a wide margin. After his presidency, he began tireless activity in favor of human rights in the world that earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, AP reported.
