This Wisconsin County has voted for the winner in the last 6 presidential elections
All eyes are on a Wisconsin county this election. The county’s voters have ultimately sided with the winner of the last six presidential elections, but will they continue that streak in another hotly contested race this November? Considered a relatively “purple” county, Door County in Wisconsin has leaned both Democrat and Republican over the years. The popular county voted for Presidents George Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. A look back at voting data from the year 2000 to now shows the numbers: 2000: 15,220 votes castGore/Lieberman: 6,560 (43.1%)Bush/Cheney: 7,810 (51.3%) 2004: 17,491 votes castKerry/Edwards: 8,367 (47.8%)Bush/Cheney: 8,910 (50.9%) 2008: 17,481 votes castObama/Biden: 10,142 (58.0%)McCain/Palin: 7,112 (40.7%) 2012: 17,671 votes castObama/Biden: 9,357 (53.0%)Romney/Ryan: 8,121 (46.0%) 2016: 17,592 votes castClinton/Kaine: 8,014 (45.6%)Trump/Pence: 8,580 (48.8% 2020: 20,117 votes castBiden/Harris: 10,044 (49.9%)Trump/Pence: 9,752 (48.8%) Wisconsin itself is considered an important swing state in the presidential race, with Trump previously saying “if we win Wisconsin, we win the presidency.” Early voting in the state began Tuesday. While Door County has fluctuated, Wisconsin has only voted majority Republican once in the last 40 years, when it voted for Trump in 2016. Still, the state has remained tight in many of the most recent elections. The Associated Press reported earlier this month that both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are about even in Wisconsin, based on a series of polls that have shown little movement since Biden dropped out in late July. Whether or not Door County will vote for the winner in 2024’s election remains to be seen.
