Editing Norman County, Minnesota (section)

==Government and politics==
From 1932 to 2012, Norman County voted Democratic, typically by large margins, in all but three elections, two were the nationwide Republican landslide victories of [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] in 1952 and [[Richard Nixon]] in 1972, and the third was in 2000, when strong third party showings in the state helped swing the county to [[George W. Bush]]. The 2016 election, however, saw the county swing significantly to the right, as [[Donald Trump]] won the county by over 13%. He increased his margin of victory in 2020 to nearly 16%, and turned in the best performance for a Republican in Norman County since [[Herbert Hoover]] in 1928. Trump increased his margin to over 22% in the county in 2024, breaking this record yet again.
