Editing Livingston County, Illinois (section)

===Politics===
Although it was solidly Democratic before 1856, Livingston has since always been a powerfully Republican county. The solitary Democrat to win a majority of the county's vote since [[American Civil War|the Civil War]] has been [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] in his 1932 landslide triumph over [[Herbert Hoover]]. Apart from that and the 1912 election when Woodrow Wilson won against a mortally divided Republican Party, Livingston has always voted Republican since that party was founded in 1856. Since 1940, only [[Lyndon Johnson]] in his 1964 landslide victory over the conservative [[Barry Goldwater]] has won more than forty percent of the county's vote.
