Editing Clayton County, Georgia (section)

== Politics ==
For most of the 1960s to the 1980s, Clayton County was a swing county. It voted for Governor [[Jimmy Carter]] in [[1976 United States presidential election in Georgia|1976]] with around 65 percent of the vote, but then voted for [[Ronald Reagan]] with over 70 percent of the vote in [[1984 United States presidential election in Georgia|1984]]. However, due to extensive in-migration by Democratic-voting African-Americans from surrounding areas, starting in [[1992 United States presidential election in Georgia|1992]], Clayton County has swung heavily Democratic and is now one of the most Democratic counties in the country. In every presidential election since [[2004 United States presidential election in Georgia|2004]], Clayton County has been the most Democratic county in Georgia.<ref>https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/</ref>
