Bush]] in [[2004 United States presidential election in Texas|2004]] having carried it by a double digit margin, and his 56.8% of the vote is also the highest for any Republican in the county's history. In [[2016 United States presidential election in Texas|2016]], [[Donald Trump]] defeated [[Hillary Clinton]] in the county with a plurality of 48.6% to 47.1%, or 1,568 votes, the closest race since 1956.
