Politics, law and government

Lincoln is currently a powerfully Republican county. It has not been carried by any Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976, and Carter in 1980 is the last Democrat to reach forty percent of the county’s vote in a Presidential election. Before World War II, Lincoln was a typically Democratic Southern county except for supporting Herbert Hoover in 1928 and William McKinley in 1900, but since Thomas E. Dewey carried the county in 1948, it has gone Democratic just twice.
