== Government and politics == Linn County has only supported a Democrat for president four times since 1920, and only twice since 1940. [[Jimmy Carter]] is the last Democrat to carry the county, in [[1976 United States presidential election|1976]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Presidential Election of 1976, by County |url=http://geoelections.free.fr/USA/elec_comtes/1976.htm |website=geoelections.free.fr |series=USA}}</ref> In [[2012 United States presidential election|2012]] Mitt Romney won 56.28 percent to incumbent president Obama's 39.63 percent, and Obama's 2008 result of 42.64 percent<ref>{{Cite web |title=Linn County in 2008 Presidential election |url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/statesub.php?year=2008&fips=41043&f=1&off=0&elect=0 |website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref> is the best by a Democrat since [[Michael Dukakis]] in a 1988 election affected by [[1988β89 North American drought|a major drought]]. In January 2013, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller gained national attention for a letter he sent to then Vice-president [[Joe Biden]], informing Biden that he [Mueller] would not enforce any federal firearms laws he considered to be "offending the constitutional rights of my citizens." He further stated that he would not permit federal officers to come to his county to enforce such laws.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Payne |first=Ed |last2=Ward |first2=Ric |date=January 16, 2013 |title=Oregon sheriff: 'Unconstitutional' gun control laws won't be enforced |url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/16/us/oregon-sheriff-gun-laws/index.html |access-date=April 11, 2018 |work=CNN}}</ref> {{PresHead|place=Linn County, Oregon|whig=no|source1=<ref>{{Cite web |last=Leip |first=David |title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections |url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS |access-date=April 11, 2018 |website=uselectionatlas.org}}</ref>|source2=<ref>{{Cite web |title=Geo-elections website |url=http://geoelections.free.fr/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051118120032/http://geoelections.free.fr/ |archive-date=November 18, 2005 |access-date=January 13, 2021}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP/Whig vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|43,078|25,749|2,602|Oregon}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|43,486|26,512|2,642|Oregon}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|33,488|17,995|7,236|Oregon}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|28,944|20,378|2,104|Oregon}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|28,071|22,163|1,748|Oregon}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|31,260|19,940|841|Oregon}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|25,359|16,682|2,347|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|18,331|17,041|5,953|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1992|Republican|16,461|15,399|13,427|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|18,312|17,007|803|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|23,463|16,161|75|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|18,943|13,516|3,834|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|14,128|15,776|1,337|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|15,079|11,178|1,557|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|12,604|10,032|1,648|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|8,382|14,926|0|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|12,899|11,035|0|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|12,469|10,153|0|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|13,761|8,058|140|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|7,936|7,260|559|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1944|Republican|6,877|6,480|136|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1940|Republican|6,523|6,360|76|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|4,110|5,856|1,245|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|4,106|5,366|559|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|5,877|2,645|169|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|4,141|2,618|1,596|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|4,693|3,177|485|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|4,524|4,675|580|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|1,301|2,134|1,941|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|2,202|1,813|491|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|2,346|1,206|764|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1900|Democratic|1,927|1,997|349|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1896|Democratic|2,064|2,736|107|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1892|Populist|1,689|630|1,970|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1888|Democratic|1,603|1,633|138|Oregon}} {{PresRow|1884|Democratic|1,444|1,641|82|Oregon}} {{PresFoot|1880|Democratic|1,416|1,677|24|Oregon}}
