Editing Oxford County, Maine (section)

==Politics==
From [[1880 United States presidential election|1880]] to [[1988 United States presidential election|1988]], Oxford County was dominated by the Republican Party in presidential elections, only failing to back a Republican candidate in [[1912 United States presidential election|1912]] (the county backed [[Bull Moose Party|Progressive]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]], who was a former Republican), [[1964 United States presidential election|1964]] (backing Democrat [[Lyndon B. Johnson]], who won every county in Maine in a 46-state landslide), and [[1968 United States presidential election|1968]] (backing Democrat [[Hubert Humphrey]], who had chosen Oxford County native [[Edmund Muskie]] as his running mate). The county flipped in [[1992 United States presidential election|1992]] to become consistently Democratic like the rest of Maine, staying that way through [[2012 United States presidential election|2012]]. However, it made a 27.8 point swing<ref>{{Cite web |title=Here's a map of the US counties that flipped to Trump from Democrats |url=https://www.cnbc.com/heres-a-map-of-the-us-counties-that-flipped-to-trump-from-democrats/ |access-date=June 18, 2019 |website=www.cnbc.com}}</ref> (the largest statewide) to back Republican [[Donald Trump]] in [[2016 United States presidential election|2016]] as he won Maine's second congressional district containing the county. Trump retained the county in [[2020 United States presidential election|2020]] and again in 2024, each time at increasing margins.<ref>{{citation |url= https://ballotpedia.org/Pivot_Counties_in_Maine |title= Pivot Counties in Maine |work= [[ballotpedia.org]] |access-date= 2024-09-20 }}</ref>
