Editing Logan County, West Virginia (section)

==Politics==
Logan County, being historically secessionist<ref>Hinkle, Harlan H.; ''Grayback Mountaineers: The Confederate Face of Western Virginia'', pp. 189–190 {{ISBN|0595268404}}</ref> and between the New Deal and the 1990s heavily unionized, was once powerfully Democratic. Before the 2008 presidential election, the only Republican to carry the county had been [[Herbert Hoover]] in [[1928 United States presidential election in West Virginia|1928]], due to strong anti-Catholicism against [[Al Smith]] in this "Bible Belt" region. Logan was the only county in West Virginia to be carried by [[George McGovern]] in his lackluster [[1972 United States presidential election in West Virginia|1972 campaign]], and between 1976 and 2000 no Republican reached 40 percent of the county's vote. 

From 2000 to 2016, the county swung more Republican in each consecutive election, particularly due to the Democratic Party's support for [[environmentalism|environmentalist]] policies.<ref name="coaltransition">{{Cite news|url=http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/sanders-looking-to-rack-up-west-virginia-win-over-clinton-222952|title=Clinton haunted by coal country comment|first=Daniel|last=Strauss|date=May 10, 2016|access-date=June 3, 2017|publisher=Politico}}</ref> Democratic vote shares since 2016 have plummeted to levels historically more typical of unionist, traditionally Republican counties like [[Grant County, West Virginia|Grant]].
