==Government== Macon County has been overwhelmingly Democratic for most of the past century and a quarter. Apart from the "[[dealignment]]" era between 1948 and 1972, and [[Herbert Hoover]] in the highly controversial 1928 election, no Republican has won so much as twenty percent of the county's vote in the past century. No Republican has obtained a majority in that time span, although [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] won a narrow plurality in 1956. Although [[Donald Trump]] in 2024 was able to crack 20% of the vote for the first time since Nixon in 1972, Macon County was still the most Democratic county in Alabama in that election. In the elections of 1980,<ref>Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas; [http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1980&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1980 Presidential Election statistics]</ref> Macon was the most Democratic county in the nation while in 1984 it was the most Democratic outside of the District of Columbia.<ref>Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas; [http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1984&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1984 Presidential Election statistics]</ref> Macon County was only 0.02 percent shy of this in 1992,<ref>Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas; [http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1992&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1992 Presidential Election statistics]</ref> when it gave both [[George H. W. Bush]] his smallest proportion outside of the District of Columbia and independent [[Ross Perot]] his smallest vote share in any county nationwide. {{PresHead|place=Macon County, Alabama|source=<ref name="DL">{{cite web|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|access-date=November 21, 2016}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Democratic|1,682|6,084|68|Alabama}} {{PresRow|2020|Democratic|1,541|7,108|74|Alabama}} {{PresRow|2016|Democratic|1,431|7,566|143|Alabama}} {{PresRow|2012|Democratic|1,331|9,045|20|Alabama}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|1,396|9,450|31|Alabama}} {{PresRow|2004|Democratic|1,570|7,800|37|Alabama}} {{PresRow|2000|Democratic|1,091|7,665|75|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|987|7,018|198|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|1,134|7,253|375|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1988|Democratic|1,304|6,351|101|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1984|Democratic|1,543|7,857|99|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1980|Democratic|1,259|7,028|487|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|1,387|5,915|147|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1972|Democratic|1,931|3,636|278|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1968|Democratic|257|4,450|1,674|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1964|Dixiecrat|1,858|0|2,973|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|877|1,327|25|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|1,067|1,024|102|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|621|1,457|1|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1948|Dixiecrat|110|0|1,101|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|82|1,032|1|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|41|1,259|1|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|39|1,146|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|56|905|1|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1928|Democratic|348|526|3|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|48|538|3|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|64|693|2|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|43|575|3|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|24|647|23|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1908|Democratic|38|482|9|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1904|Democratic|51|562|7|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1900|Democratic|511|1,295|45|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1896|Democratic|259|1,043|61|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1892|Populist|13|200|704|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1888|Democratic|268|931|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1884|Democratic|80|323|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1880|Democratic|191|538|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1876|Democratic|881|1,493|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1872|Republican|2,073|948|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1868|Republican|2,327|1,075|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1860|Constitutional Union|0|46|2,394|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1856|Know Nothing |0|1,039|1,239|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1852|Whig|772|658|99|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1848|Whig|1,464|532|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1844|Whig|1,087|626|0|Alabama}} {{PresRow|1840|Whig|731|340|0|Alabama}} {{PresFoot|1836|Whig|150|34|0|Alabama}} The Sheriff of Macon County is Andre Brunson, who also was the former strength coach at Tuskegee University.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://goldentigersports.com/staff.aspx?staff=22|title = Andre Brunson - Life Coach - Staff Directory}}</ref>
