==Politics== Owing to its history as a settlement of the Yankee [[Ohio Company of Associates]], Meigs County was reliably Republican for the first century following that party's formation. Meigs County voted Republican in every Presidential election between 1856 and 1960. It was won four times by Democrats between 1964 and 1996 (although [[Bill Clinton]] who carried Meigs twice did so only with pluralities) but has become powerfully Republican again since 2000. [[Barack Obama]] reached 39% in this county despite his statewide victories in 2008 or 2012, but [[Donald Trump]] reached a record 72.8% in the county in 2016 owing to his strength in rural counties nationwide. {{PresHead|place=Meigs County, Ohio|source=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|first=David|last=Leip|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=April 10, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|8,127|2,202|93|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|8,316|2,492|159|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|7,309|2,260|472|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|5,895|4,027|296|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|6,015|4,094|298|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|6,272|4,438|61|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|5,750|3,674|371|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|3,622|4,275|1,568|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|3,916|4,226|2,144|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|5,486|3,699|91|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|6,307|3,549|73|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|4,911|3,827|432|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|4,942|5,262|144|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|5,961|2,335|137|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|4,759|2,921|775|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|3,973|5,133|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|6,976|3,472|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|6,593|2,783|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|6,700|3,336|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|5,564|3,595|34|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1944|Republican|6,401|3,399|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1940|Republican|7,239|4,983|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1936|Republican|6,464|6,085|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1932|Republican|5,964|5,105|175|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|6,580|2,661|73|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|4,864|1,944|1,684|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|6,541|3,606|177|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1916|Republican|3,184|2,628|219|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1912|Republican|2,129|1,738|1,983|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|4,108|2,225|288|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|4,304|1,708|276|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1900|Republican|4,545|2,237|147|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1896|Republican|4,696|2,536|75|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1892|Republican|3,959|2,415|294|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1888|Republican|3,989|2,413|201|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1884|Republican|4,177|2,630|110|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1880|Republican|4,103|2,749|43|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1876|Republican|3,962|2,773|17|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1872|Republican|3,501|1,812|7|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1868|Republican|3,548|2,027|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1864|Republican|3,522|1,461|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1860|Republican|2,689|1,699|224|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1856|Republican|1,998|1,603|344|Ohio}} |} {{U.S. SenHead|place=Meigs County, Ohio|Seat=1|source=<ref>{{cite news |title=2024 Senate Election (Official Returns) |website=Commonwealth of Texas by county |date=November 5, 2024 |access-date=December 5, 2024 |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/ohio-senate-results}}</ref>}} <!-- U.S. SenRow should be {{U.S. SenRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{U.S. SenRow|2024|Republican|7,385|2,456|374|Ohio}} {{U.S. SenFoot}}
