It was always carried by the Democratic presidential nominee between at least 1876 and 1964, following upon which "American Independent" candidate [[George Wallace]] obtained a majority of the county's vote in 1968 amidst large-scale opposition to racial desegregation and civil rights for African-Americans. In every election since, Lenoir County has voted for the Republican presidential nominee, although on several occasions the GOP margin has been extremely close and on only five occasions out of twelve has the margin been more than ten percentage points.
