Nixon, Ford, Carter were 70’s, not after the 70’s. Reagan’s VP was a Bush, wasn’t it? Maybe they’re also including the primary ballots to count Clinton in 2008? But I don’t think she ran in 2012…

I don’t think you’re correct.

Obama’s running mate was Joe Biden, putting him on the ballot. 2016 had a Clinton on the ballot. Reagan’s VP was HW Bush.
The more accurate way to phrase this would be “This is the first election since 1980 to not have a Biden, Bush. or Clinton on the ballot.”
Assuming VPs are are included you do have to go back to the 1976 election to find a Bush, Clinton, and Biden free ballot
