Spelich | treasurerparty =Republican }} LaSalle has generally been a Republican-leaning swing county, more competitive than most in urbanized Northern Illinois. In its early years, LaSalle County supported the Democratic Party, being southwest of the [[Free Soil Party|Free Soil]] strongholds in the far northeast of the state. Following the formation of the Republican party, LaSalle County voted for that party in every election until 1884, when it supported Democrat [[Grover Cleveland]] three consecutive times. Although the county gave a plurality to [[Woodrow Wilson]] in 1912 and supported [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] in his first three elections, it otherwise voted Republican until 1960. A Democratic trend, typical of Yankee Northern Illinois, saw [[Michael Dukakis]] carry LaSalle despite failing to win the election in 1988, and no Republican would carry the county again until [[George W. Bush]] in 2004. {{PresHead|place=LaSalle County, Illinois|source=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|first=David|last=Leip|website=uselectionatlas.org|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180323225526/https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|archive-date=March 23, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|30,717|21,029|942|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|30,113|22,442|1,132|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|26,689|19,543|3,511|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|23,256|23,073|1,076|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|21,872|27,443|995|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|26,101|24,263|365|Illinois}} {{PresRow|2000|Democratic|21,276|23,355|1,376|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|15,299|21,643|5,549|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|16,078|23,276|10,577|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1988|Democratic|22,166|22,271|213|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|27,388|20,532|219|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|27,323|16,818|3,694|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1976|Republican|25,114|23,105|646|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|31,190|21,405|92|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|26,054|22,940|2,616|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|21,216|30,923|0|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|27,552|27,532|41|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|33,461|18,318|83|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|32,857|21,321|99|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|24,453|19,666|321|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1944|Republican|28,179|21,489|2,210|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|25,296|29,704|399|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|22,240|26,926|2,035|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|19,179|27,500|908|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|24,039|20,807|382|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|21,417|6,216|7,784|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|23,751|6,626|2,057|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1916|Republican|20,662|14,625|1,203|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|4,858|7,036|7,890|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|11,159|7,589|1,326|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|11,967|5,628|1,500|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1900|Republican|11,781|8,671|504|Illinois}} {{PresRow|1896|Republican|11,548|8,108|391|Illinois}} {{PresFoot|1892|Democratic|7,957|9,365|711|Illinois}}
