[[Whig Party (United States)|The Whig Party]] carried the county consistently between 1836 and 1852, and since the Republican Party first contested Tennessee in 1868, it has won Grainger County in every election except in 1912 when the GOP was mortally divided and Progressive [[Theodore Roosevelt]] carried the county over conservative incumbent [[William Howard Taft]]. The American Communities Project (ACP) characterized Grainger County as an 'evangelical hub,' due to the high number of religious residents tied to [[Evangelicalism|evangelical]] churches, particularly the [[Southern Baptist Convention]], and the county is in one of the most politically [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]] types of the ACP's characteristic placements.<ref name="acp">{{cite web |title=Evangelical Hubs |url=https://www.americancommunities.org/community-type/evangelical-hubs/ |website=American Communities Project |access-date=December 6, 2020}}</ref> In recent elections, the county has shown little competitiveness for Democratic candidates in local, state, and federal elections.
