Haskell County was once a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] bastion, voting for the Democratic nominee for president in every election from its founding through 1996, with the exceptions of the 1972 and 1984 Republican landslides. In 2000, it broke its Democratic heritage by voting for Republican nominee [[George W. Bush]]. Since then, the county has taken a sharp Republican turn, moving rightward in every subsequent election as of 2020. In 2020, Haskell gave 83.1 percent of the vote to Republican nominee [[Donald Trump]], the highest ever Republican vote share in the county, and just 15.9 percent of the vote to Democratic nominee [[Joe Biden]], the lowest ever Democratic vote share in the county.
