==Politics==
Owing to its [[Yankee]] influence, Lawrence County has been reliably Republican for a full century. It was the only South Dakota county to remain loyal to [[Herbert Hoover]] in his landslide 1932 loss.<ref>Phillips, Kevin P.; ''The Emerging Republican Majority'', p. 442 {{ISBN|1400852293}}</ref> In fact, Lawrence County was the second-westernmost county, behind only Utah's [[Kane County, Utah|Kane County]], to never vote for [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]. The only Democratic presidential candidates to carry Lawrence County have been [[Woodrow Wilson]] in 1912 and 1916, and [[William Jennings Bryan]] in 1896. Lawrence County has also been one of the most consistent strongholds for the [[Libertarian Party (United States)|Libertarian Party]], giving their 2016 nominee, [[Gary Johnson]], one of the largest vote share out of any county outside his home state of [[New Mexico]], with 7.9%. In 2020, Libertarian Party nominee [[Jo Jorgensen]] received 3.9% of the popular vote, her second best performance in any county during the election cycle.
