===Politics===
In the period following the Civil War, Logan was a swing county, following the popular vote winner in every election up to 1936 except those of 1900 and 1916. Since 1940, when its isolationist sentiment drove voters to [[Wendell Willkie]], Logan has become a strongly Republican county. No Democratic presidential candidate has won Logan County since [[Lyndon Johnson]]’s 1964 landslide over [[Barry Goldwater]]. In fact, apart from Johnson, [[Barack Obama]] in 2008 is the solitary Democrat to reach forty percent in the past nineteen elections.
