Answer: Voters thought it made him seem less qualified.  

In 1976, during his presidential debate, President Ford made a mistake that would affect directly his campaign when he said that Eastern Europe was not under the Soviet Union domination. As a result, voters thought it made him look less qualified for the president position, even though in reality he was a Yale Law School graduate and not a dummy at all.
