===Politics===
A swing county for much of the 20th century, White Pine County has become powerfully Republican like the rest of rural Nevada since the 1980s. The last Democrat to carry a majority in the county was Jimmy Carter in 1976. The most recent Democratic win in the county was a 36% plurality by [[Bill Clinton]] in 1992; Clinton went on to lose the county in 1996 by just 2 votes. [[Donald Trump]] received over 70% of the county's vote in [[United states presidential election 2016|2016]], [[2020 United States presidential election|2020]], and [[2024 United States presidential election|2024]]. The city of Ely and almost all rural areas of the county reflect the county's overall Republican leaning. The rural district in the southeast part of the county near the Utah border, encompassing Baker and Great Basin National Park, has a slight Democratic leaning, though there are only 118 voters in the area and the Democratic majority only consisted of 4 votes in 2024.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/us/elections/2024-election-map-precinct-results.html?unlocked_article_code=1.xk4.VI7C.oXuhxhF7kYdB&smid=url-share</ref>
