Editing Windham, New Hampshire (section)

== Politics and government ==
Windham has historically been one of the most Republican towns in New Hampshire, almost always giving landslide margins to Republican candidates. In recent years, however, Windham has shifted strongly to the left. The town posted one of the largest swings towards Hillary Clinton from Barack Obama, and Joe Biden put up the best performance for a presidential Democrat in Windham as far back as records are available (1972). {{Citation needed|date=February 2025}}
