Editing La Salle County, Texas (section)

==Politics==
For most of its history, La Salle County was a solid [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] stronghold like most of South Texas. Before 2020, the county 
had voted for the [[GOP|Republican]] candidate only once in over a hundred years, delivering 65% of the vote to [[Richard Nixon]] during his landslide victory in [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]]. In recent years, however, La Salle County has skewed significantly more Republican, as [[Donald Trump]] flipped the county in [[2020 United States presidential election|2020]] and further expanded his margin of victory in [[2024 United States presidential election|2024]]. This political realignment is consistent with shifting trends among Hispanic voters in South Texas.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Scherer |first1=Jasper |title=Trump's near sweep of Texas border counties shows a shift to the right for Latino voters |url=https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/06/donald-trump-near-sweep-texas-border-counties/ |website=Texas Tribune |access-date=26 November 2024}}</ref>
