==Government== Prior to 1968, Lincoln County was a Democratic Party stronghold in presidential elections similar to most other counties in the [[Solid South]]. The county backed segregationist [[George Wallace]] in 1968, but despite voting Republican for the first time in [[Richard Nixon]]βs 49-state 1972 landslide, remained Democratic-leaning up to 1992. Since then, it has become a Republican Party stronghold, with its candidates winning the county by increasing margins with each succeeding presidential election starting with 1996. {{PresHead|place=Lincoln County, Tennessee|source=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=March 11, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|13,208|2,782|138|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|12,281|2,919|408|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|10,398|2,554|396|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|9,803|3,290|175|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|9,231|3,695|204|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|7,829|4,546|82|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|5,435|5,060|164|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|4,551|4,361|835|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|3,814|5,063|1,425|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|4,288|3,672|57|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1984|Democratic|3,982|4,103|29|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1980|Democratic|2,856|5,387|166|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|1,724|5,732|62|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|3,266|1,867|148|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1968|American Independent|1,167|1,848|4,214|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|1,728|4,861|0|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|1,428|4,862|48|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1956|Democratic|1,207|4,434|51|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|1,654|4,510|13|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|361|2,969|758|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|573|3,735|8|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|521|3,781|13|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|430|3,451|7|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|288|3,095|46|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1928|Democratic|743|2,377|7|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|357|2,356|31|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|1,091|2,463|6|Tennessee}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|552|2,791|14|Tennessee}} {{PresFoot|1912|Democratic|672|2,651|108|Tennessee}} The governing body of Lincoln County is the Lincoln County Commission, which is divided into eight districts and 24 commissioners, three from each district.
