Editing Graham County, Arizona (section)

==Politics==
In its early days Graham County was a solidly Democratic county. It voted for the Democratic nominee in every presidential election from 1912 to 1952, being one of only four Western counties outside New Mexico to support [[James M. Cox]] in 1920, and one of only five to support [[John W. Davis]] in 1924. Since the 1950s, however, Graham has become a reliable Republican county, usually rivaling Mohave and Yavapai as the most Republican in Arizona, and sometimes, as in 2004 and 2000, being the “reddest” of all the state's counties. No Democratic presidential nominee has carried Graham County since [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] – against Arizona native [[Barry Goldwater]] – did so in 1964, though [[Bill Clinton]], who carried significant national rural appeal as a Democrat in the 1990s, came close in 1996.{{citation needed|date=January 2022}}

The county was one of two in Arizona to vote against [[2024 Arizona Proposition 139]], which established a right to abortion in the state's constitution, along with neighboring [[Gila County, Arizona|Gila County]].<ref>{{cite web |title=2024 General Election Signed Canvass |url=https://apps.azsos.gov/election/2024/ge/canvass/20241105_GeneralCanvass_Signed.pdf#page=5 |website=Arizona Secretary of State |access-date=December 31, 2024}}</ref>
