Government

Crittenden County in the nineteenth century was largely dominated by black Republicans, who carried the county in most elections from Reconstruction until the “Redeemers” disfranchised essentially all blacks in Arkansas between 1900 and 1960. From 1910 until 1944 it was overwhelmingly Democratic as only whites voted, and when faced with a national Civil Rights plank Crittenden was one of three Arkansas counties to vote for Strom Thurmond over Harry S. Truman in 1948. Since the re-enfranchisement of black residents began in the 1950s, Crittenden has been generally Democratic-voting, despite a large-scale shift of white residents to the GOP, reversing the nineteenth century party alignment. The last Republican to win the county was George Bush senior in 1988.
