Editing Hunterdon County, New Jersey (section)

==Politics==
Hunterdon County is considered a Republican stronghold and has traditionally elected some of the most conservative members of the New Jersey legislature. All five [[Board of County Commissioners (New Jersey)|County Commissioners]] are Republicans, as are all countywide elected officers and the majority of township committee and borough council members. The county has only gone Democratic in a presidential election twice since [[1920 United States presidential election|1920]], in the national Democratic landslides of [[1936 United States presidential election|1936]] and [[1964 United States presidential election|1964]]. However, in [[2016 United States presidential election|2016]], the margin of victory for Republican presidential candidates decreased from 17.8 percent in [[2012 United States presidential election|2012]] to 13.7 percent, despite the Democrats' national popular vote margin shrinking from 3.9 points to 2.1 points. In [[2020 United States presidential election|2020]], [[Joe Biden]] came closer than any Democratic nominee to carrying the county since [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]’s win in 1964, losing by 4.4 percent to [[Donald Trump]]. As of October 1, 2021, there were a total of 107,101 registered voters in Hunterdon County, of whom 29,256 (27.3%) were registered as [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]], 41,836 (39.1%) were registered as [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] and 35,077 (32.8%) were registered as [[Unaffiliated (New Jersey)|unaffiliated]]. There were 932 voters (0.9%) registered to other parties.<ref>[https://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/assets/pdf/svrs-reports/2021/2021-10-voter-registration-by-county.pdf Statewide Voter Registration Summary as of October 1, 2021], [[New Jersey Department of State]].
