==Politics==
Ellis is a staunchly [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] county in presidential elections. The last [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] presidential candidate to carry the county was [[Jimmy Carter]] in [[1976 United States presidential election|1976]], and since [[2000 United States presidential election|2000]], Republican presidential candidates have won with more than 60% of the vote. The county's Republican lean has lessened a bit due to population growth in the [[Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex|DFW metroplex]] in recent years, but it still remains strongly Republican.
