Republic County is overwhelmingly Republican. No Democratic presidential candidate has won the county, with the exception of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] in 1932 and [[Woodrow Wilson]] in 1912 and 1916. Since 1996, the Republican candidate has garnered seventy percent of the county's vote. The only Democrat since 1980 to exceed one quarter of the vote was [[Michael Dukakis]] in 1988.

===Laws===
Republic County was a prohibition ([[dry county|"dry"]]) county until 1986, when the [[Kansas Constitution]] was amended, allowing the sale of alcoholic liquor by the individual drink with a 30 percent food sales requirement.<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.ksrevenue.org/abcwetdrymap.htm| title=Map of Wet and Dry Counties| publisher=Alcoholic Beverage Control, Kansas Department of Revenue| date=November 2006| access-date=December 28, 2007| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008013617/http://www.ksrevenue.org/abcwetdrymap.htm| archive-date=October 8, 2007}}</ref>
