Politics

Typical of many counties in Georgia & the Solid South, McDuffie County almost exclusively backed candidates of the Democratic Party in presidential elections by wide margins prior to 1964. The exceptions to this were 1928, when Herbert Hoover won the county by 9 points, & 1960, where John F. Kennedy only won by 40 votes, both thanks to anti-Catholic sentiment. The county swung hard to support Barry Goldwater in 1964 thanks to opposition towards the Civil Rights Act, & was won by George Wallace in 1968 for similar reasons. Since then, the only times the county has failed to back a Republican candidate for president since then have been in 1976 & 1980, when Georgian Jimmy Carter was on the ticket. However, its sizeable African-American population has kept the Republican margins of victory lower than in many other rural counties in the state.
