=== Overview === Sierra County at one time had favored the Democratic party in presidential elections and was one of few counties in California to be won by [[George McGovern]]. In more recent times it is a strongly Republican county in [[President of the United States|presidential]] and [[United States Congress|congressional]] elections. The last Democrat to win a majority in the county was [[Jimmy Carter]] in [[United States presidential election in California, 1976|1976]]. {{PresHead|place=Sierra County, California|source1=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=September 1, 2018}}</ref>|source2=<ref group=note>The leading "other" candidate, national [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive]] and statewide Republican nominee [[Theodore Roosevelt]], received 483 votes, whilst [[Socialist Party of America|Socialist Party]] candidate [[Eugene V.
