In 1936, Republican candidate Alf Landon did not receive a single vote in Horry County. In 1964, though, [[Barry Goldwater]] carried the county by a margin almost as large as [[John F. Kennedy]]'s 1960 margin. It has voted Republican in every election since, with the exception of supporting the third-party candidacy of Alabama Governor [[George Wallace]] in 1968 and neighboring Georgia's [[Jimmy Carter]] in 1976. While conservative Democrats continued to hold most local offices into the 1990s, today, there are almost no elected Democrats left above the county level. No Democratic presidential candidate has received more than 40% of the county's vote since 2000.
