Harding]] in [[1920 United States presidential election|1920]] and for [[Herbert Hoover]] in [[1928 United States presidential election|1928]]. The three Republicans would lose Georgia but win their respective national elections. Despite being strongly Democratic through [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s four elections and in the subsequent two, the county only narrowly went for Democrat [[Adlai Stevenson II]] in [[1956 United States presidential election|1956]] and flipped Republican for [[Richard Nixon]] in [[1960 United States presidential election|1960]]. It would flip back to the Democrats and [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in [[1964 United States presidential election|1964]], even as [[Barry Goldwater]] would become the first Republican to ever carry the state of Georgia in a presidential election. However, it would be one of the last hurrahs for the Democratic Party in Whitfield County; [[Hubert Humphrey]] would finish third here in [[1968 United States presidential election|1968]] behind Richard Nixon and third-party candidate [[George Wallace]], and it would give Nixon over 80% of the vote in [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]]. It snapped back Democratic for native Georgian [[Jimmy Carter]] in [[1976 United States presidential election|1976]] and [[1980 United States presidential election|1980]], but this would be the final time it voted Democratic at the presidential level. It has become a safely Republican area throughout the remainder of the 20th century and into the 21st.
