Politics

Crook County is one of the most overwhelmingly Republican counties in the nation, both in state and federal elections. The last Democratic candidate to carry the county was Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932,[14] and indeed Roosevelt in the following election – when he lost to Alf Landon by five percentage points – constitutes the last Democrat to pass forty percent. In the last ten Presidential elections the Democratic candidate has consistently received less than 23.5% of the county's vote.[15] In the 2016 Presidential election, Crook County was the most Republican county in the most Republican state.
