Editing Placer County, California (section)

=== Overview ===
In its early history Placer County was solidly Republican: it voted Republican in every election between 1860 and 1912, when Bull Moose nominee [[Theodore Roosevelt]] was California's official Republican nominee.<ref name="Geography">Menendez, Albert J.; ''The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004'', pp. 153–156 {{ISBN|0786422173}}</ref> Between 1916 and 1976, however, the county voted Republican only in three landslide elections of [[United States presidential election in California, 1920|1920]], [[United States presidential election in California, 1952|1952]] and [[United States presidential election in California, 1972|1972]] – in all of which its GOP margins were much smaller than for the state or nation. Since the "[[Reagan Revolution]]" Placer County has become and remained a stronghold of the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]]; it consistently elects Republican public officials and has voted for presidential candidates from the party in every election since 1980.
