Editing McPherson County, Nebraska (section)

==Politics==
McPherson County voters have been strongly Republican since the beginning. In only two national elections since 1900 has the county selected the Democratic Party candidate (as of 2024). In 2016, Democrat [[Hillary Clinton]] had the worst showing for a major party Presidential candidate in the county's history, tallying just 14 votes for only 4.9%. She had accumulated fewer votes than any third-party or write-in votes, making it the only county in Nebraska for this to happen. In 2024, Democrat [[Kamala Harris]] performed even worse than Clinton, receiving only 12 votes or 4.2%.
