Editing Douglas County, Georgia (section)

===Politics===
In presidential elections, Douglas County had been a reliably Republican county between [[1980 United States presidential election in Georgia|1980]] and [[2004 United States presidential election in Georgia|2004]], voting Republican by a double-digit margin even in [[1992 United States presidential election in Georgia|1992]], when Democrat [[Bill Clinton]] carried the state of Georgia. The county gave over 60% of the vote to Republican [[George W. Bush]] in both of his presidential runs in [[2000 United States presidential election in Georgia|2000]] and 2004. The county has since become increasingly Democratic, voting for Democrats since [[2008 United States presidential election in Georgia|2008]]. In [[2024 United States presidential election in Georgia|2024]], Democrat [[Kamala Harris]] won 65% of the vote, the highest share of the vote in the county since [[1976 United States presidential election in Georgia|1976]].
