Why did Jimmy Carter handily win the state of Georgia in 1980, despite losing other southern states?

It is not surprising since Jimmy Carter was elected governor of Georgia, a statewide position which indicates strength across the state. Note that Donald Trump, a Republican, never ran for office in New York which is a heavily Democratic state.
