Editing Geneva County, Alabama (section)

==Government and politics==
Much like the state and the rest of the Deep South, Geneva County was locked for the Democrats before [[1964 United States presidential election in Alabama|1964]], until [[Herbert Hoover]] won against Democrat nominee [[Al Smith]] in [[1928 United States presidential election in Alabama|1928]] by 48 votes. However, ever since [[1980 United States presidential election in Alabama|1980]], Geneva County has been a Republican stronghold. The last Democrat to carry the county was [[Deep South]] native [[Jimmy Carter]] in [[1976 United States presidential election in Alabama|1976]]. 

Geneva is also noteworthy for being the best county in the country for Alabama native [[George Wallace]] in the [[1968 United States presidential election in Alabama|1968 election]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1968&f=1&off=0&elect=0|title=1968 Presidential Election Statistics|publisher=Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas}}</ref> where his main support was from the [[Deep South]] and was strongest in the [[Wiregrass Region|Wiregrass]] and [[Piney Woods]] regions.
