Politics

Although in the period up to World War I Hancock County's German heritage caused it to lean Democratic,[26] since that war – when German Americans were driven from the Democratic Party by Woodrow Wilson’s postwar settlement policies[27] and James M. Cox’s refusal to accept German language instruction[28] – the county has been powerfully Republican. Since 1920 no Democratic presidential candidate has obtained an absolute majority of Hancock County's vote – although Franklin D. Roosevelt did win narrow pluralities in his 1932 and 1936 landslides – and it was one of just five Ohio counties that voted for Barry Goldwater over Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Although Goldwater won by just sixty-three votes, no Democratic presidential nominee since has cracked three-eighths (37.5%) of the county's vote.
