Editing Dewey County, South Dakota (section)

==Politics==
Dewey has since the 1990s been a strongly Democratic county in solidly Republican South Dakota. The last Republican to carry the county was [[Ronald Reagan]] in his 1984 landslide when he came within 3,761 votes of claiming all fifty states. Before this period, by contrast, Dewey was a Republican-leaning county even for South Dakota. Between its formation and 1984, Dewey had voted Democratic only in the three landslide Democratic wins of 1964, 1936 and 1932, plus for [[Woodrow Wilson]] in 1916 when his anti-war policies had strong appeal in the West.
