Editing Natrona County, Wyoming (section)

==Politics==
Like almost all of Wyoming, Natrona is a heavily Republican county. It is rather conservative for an urban county, having gone Republican in all but three elections since 1944. No Democratic presidential candidate has won forty percent of the county's vote since [[Lyndon Johnson]] garnered 52 percent in his 1964 landslide against [[Barry Goldwater]]. [[Bill Clinton]] did win a 100-vote plurality in the 1992 election due to [[Ross Perot|a significant third-party vote]]. In 2024, [[Donald Trump]] received 72.7% of the vote, the county's highest vote percentage for any presidential candidate since Wyoming statehood in 1890.<ref name=DL/>
