PoliticsUntil the 2000s, Franklin County, owing to its strong Southern leanings and opposition to the “Yankee” Civil War was Democratic-leaning. It voted for Republican Presidential nominees only in landslide GOP victories, and even Walter Mondale when he came within 3,819 votes of losing all fifty states in 1984 was able to carry Franklin County by 1,011 votes. However, since the turn of the century opposition to the Democratic Party’s liberal views on social issues has produced a powerful swing towards the Republican Party.[30] In 2016, Hillary Clinton did fifteen percent worse than any previous Democratic candidate, receiving only 25 percent of the county’s ballots. {{Hidden begin|titlestyle = background:#ccccff; |title = Presidential election results }}
