Editing Wood County, West Virginia (section)

==Politics==
Wood County is a massive outlier in West Virginia. After being strongly [[Southern Unionist|Unionist]] during [[Virginia Secession Convention of 1861|the Virginia Secession Convention]]<ref>[http://www.virginiamemory.com/docs/votes_on_secession.pdf?_ga=1.136899061.456866595.1437301396 ‘How Virginia Convention Delegates Voted on Secession, April 4 and April 17, 1861, and Whether They Signed a Copy of the Ordinance of Secession’]</ref> it identified with the Republican Party after the Civil War. It has been one of the most Republican counties in West Virginia for most of the century and a half since, even when the state as a whole was a Democratic stronghold for most of the time from the 1930s through the 1990s. The only Democrats to win Wood County have been [[Samuel J. Tilden]] in 1876, [[Woodrow Wilson]] in 1912 and 1916, [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] between 1932 and 1940, [[Harry S. Truman]] in 1948, and [[Lyndon Johnson]] in 1964. Out of these, Tilden and Truman were the only Democrats who did not go on to win over 400 electoral votes.
