==Government and politics== In the early twentieth century Pitt was a typical Democratic "[[Solid South]]" county, where there were large numbers of [[disenfranchisement after the Reconstruction Era|disenfranchised]] [[African Americans|blacks]] and the small white electorate voted overwhelming majorities for the Democratic Party. Pitt voted for the Democratic Party in every election from at least 1876 until American Independent candidate George Wallace gained a plurality in 1968. Apart from [[Richard Nixon]]'s overwhelming victory over [[George McGovern]] in 1972, Pitt has since been a closely contested swing county, with no major party candidate post-McGovern falling under forty percent. After 1976, when Jimmy Carter carried it, and aside from a victory in 1992 by Bill Clinton, Pitt County tended to vote for Republicans until 2008. Since 2008 it has voted for the Democratic Party. {{PresHead|place=Pitt County, North Carolina|source=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=March 17, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} -->{{PresRow|2024|Democratic|40,403|45,595|1,132|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|2020|Democratic|38,982|47,252|1,339|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|2016|Democratic|35,691|41,824|3,012|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|2012|Democratic|36,214|41,843|799|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|33,927|40,501|456|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|28,590|24,924|129|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|23,192|19,685|198|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|18,227|17,555|2,229|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|16,609|17,959|5,327|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|18,245|14,777|105|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|18,983|13,481|62|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|12,816|12,590|965|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|9,532|11,636|120|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|14,406|5,858|195|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1968|American Independent|5,745|7,696|9,167|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|5,149|11,317|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|3,458|12,526|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1956|Democratic|2,515|11,873|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|2,203|11,271|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|602|8,519|401|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|495|8,556|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|369|10,067|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|325|9,539|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|255|7,724|21|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1928|Democratic|1,395|4,646|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|512|3,197|56|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|864|4,196|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|719|2,839|0|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|347|2,303|436|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1908|Democratic|890|2,419|3|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1904|Democratic|429|2,329|17|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1900|Democratic|2,156|3,264|36|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1896|Democratic|2,390|3,181|11|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1892|Democratic|1,221|2,052|1,425|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1888|Democratic|2,358|2,569|68|North Carolina}} {{PresRow|1884|Democratic|2,283|2,428|0|North Carolina}} {{PresFoot|1880|Democratic|1,815|2,200|76|North Carolina}} Pitt County is a member of the [[Councils of governments in North Carolina|Mid-East Commission]] regional council of governments.
