Historically a Republican-voting county, Seneca has become more competitive in recent years and is now a swing county in Presidential elections. With the exception of 2000 and 2020, when [[Al Gore]] and [[Donald Trump]], respectively, carried the county, voters here have opted for the winner of every Presidential election since 1980. In 2024, Donald Trump carried the county by over 55%, the highest percentage for any candidate from either party since Reagan in 1984.<ref>https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/</ref>
