Editing Comal County, Texas (section)

==Politics==
Comal is a strongly Republican county: the last Democrat to carry it being Texan [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in 1964, and no others have done so since [[Franklin Roosevelt]]’s 1936 landslide when he won every Texas county bar traditionally [[Southern Unionist|Unionist]] Gillespie and Kendall and took 87.31 percent of the Lone Star State’s vote. LBJ’s victory in 1964 is the last time a Democrat has managed even 40 percent of the county's vote.

In earlier periods, the county’s German heritage meant it often deviated from a "[[Solid South]]" voting pattern. In 1924 [[Robert M. La Follette]] won 73.96 percent of Comal County’s vote (versus 6.52 percent for all of Texas), which made it his strongest county nationwide,<ref>Dave Leip’s U.S. Election Atlas; [http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1924&f=0&off=0&elect=0 1924 Presidential Election Statistics] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180125134619/https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/stats.php?year=1924&f=0&off=0&elect=0 |date=January 25, 2018 }}</ref> and in 1920 American candidate [[James E.
