Wallace has long been one of the most overwhelmingly Republican of all the state's counties. Only two Democratic presidential nominees have ever won Wallace County – [[Woodrow Wilson]] in 1916 and [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] in 1932. Since 1944 only three Democratic presidential candidates have won 31 percent of Wallace County's vote – [[Harry S. Truman]] in 1948, [[Lyndon Johnson]] in 1964 and [[Jimmy Carter]] in 1976 – whilst since 1980 only [[Michael Dukakis]] during the drought-affected 1988 election has obtained so much as seventeen percent for the Democratic Party. Indeed, in the 2016 election [[Hillary Clinton]] recorded less than six percent of the county's vote, whilst the last seven Republican nominees have all exceeded 80 percent. In the 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections, Wallace was the only county in Kansas to give over 90% of the vote to the Republican nominee, namely [[Mitt Romney]] followed by [[Donald Trump]].
