Caldwell]]. In presidential elections, St. Francis County generally votes Democratic. Following Reconstruction and disenfranchisement of black voters at the turn of the century, the county voted Democratic in every election since [[1896 United States presidential election|1896]], other than [[1900 United States presidential election|1900]] ([[William McKinley]]), [[1908 United States presidential election|1908]] ([[William Howard Taft]]), and [[1968 United States presidential election|1968]] ([[George Wallace]]). By the late 1960s, white conservatives began to shift into the Republican Party, and St. Francis County was carried by [[Richard Nixon]] in [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]] amidst a national landslide. In [[1984 United States presidential election|1984]], [[Ronald Reagan]] carried the county in his landslide reelection. The county has voted Democratic in every subsequent presidential election, albeit be narrowing margins in recent years. In [[2024 United States presidential election in Arkansas|2024]], Kamala Harris narrowly won the county by 44 votes. {{PresHead|place=St. Francis County, Arkansas|source=<ref name="DL">{{cite web|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|access-date=November 18, 2016}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Democratic|2,909|2,953|117|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2020|Democratic|3,242|3,604|262|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2016|Democratic|3,195|4,031|204|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2012|Democratic|3,368|4,910|84|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|3,917|5,486|102|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2004|Democratic|3,815|5,684|89|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2000|Democratic|3,414|4,986|96|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|2,523|5,562|559|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|3,289|6,548|798|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1988|Democratic|4,298|4,656|26|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|5,378|4,866|78|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1980|Democratic|4,485|5,816|186|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|3,639|6,851|30|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|5,692|2,674|265|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1968|American Independent|1,608|3,284|4,254|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|3,377|3,651|10|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|1,786|2,432|300|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1956|Democratic|1,884|2,114|201|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|1,792|2,466|1|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|178|1,011|966|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|446|1,654|8|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|192|1,671|31|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|94|1,938|14|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|130|2,191|46|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1928|Democratic|617|1,376|9|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|433|972|62|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|903|1,252|57|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|395|960|0|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|296|563|155|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|755|619|103|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1904|Democratic|577|737|19|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1900|Republican|703|634|19|Arkansas}} {{PresFoot|1896|Democratic|455|1,087|8|Arkansas}}
