==Politics==

Lincoln County was formerly a Republican stronghold, but it became more competitive in the 1990s and since the 2000 election, when [[George W. Bush]] carried it by a narrow plurality, it has swung more decisively into the Democratic column. [[Barack Obama]] easily won the county in 2008, the best performance by a Democrat since the 1964 national landslide election, and he carried it again by a decent margin in 2012. In 2016, Republican [[Donald Trump]] lost the county by only about 2 points, but it has again trended more Democratic in each subsequent election. Lincoln was one of only two counties in Maine to shift leftward between the 2020 and 2024 elections.<ref>https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/</ref>

==Transportation==
[[U.S. Route 1]] passes through the county in a northeast–southwest fashion. North-south Maine state routes, notably Maine 27, Maine 129, Maine 130 and Maine 32 travel north to the interior of the county and south to the peninsulas by the coast.

Until 1958, the [[Maine Central Railroad]] ran passenger trains from [[Portland, Maine|Portland]], along the [[Rockland Branch]] from [[Brunswick, Maine|Brunswick]] to [[Rockland, Maine|Rockland]] to the east, three trains a day on days besides Sunday and fewer trains on Sunday. Stations consisted of [[Wiscasset]], Newcastle, Damariscotta Mills, Nobleboro, Winslow Mills and [[Waldoboro]]. In Portland's [[Union Station (Portland, Maine)|Union Station]], these trains made connections to trains to Boston, New York City, Bangor and the Canadian Maritimes.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Maine Central Railroad, Table 3 |journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=91 |issue=3 |date=August 1958}}</ref> In the final months, service diminished to one daily except Sunday trip in each direction, until finally discontinuing on April 4, 1959.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Maine Central Railroad, Table 3 |journal=Official Guide of the Railways |publisher=National Railway Publication Company |volume=91 |issue=11 |date=April 1959}}</ref>

From 2003 to 2015, the [[Maine Eastern Railroad]] offered seasonal excursion service to [[Rockland, Maine]] which connected to [[Amtrak]]'s ''[[Downeaster (train)|Downeaster]]'' at Brunswick. In October 2017, the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority announced plans to extend one weekend ''Downeaster'' round trip to Rockland between Memorial Day and Labor Day beginning in 2018.
