Politics

Owing to its Yankee heritage,^[13] which contrasts with the German-American or Scandinavian-American character of most of Wisconsin, Walworth County was initially a stronghold of the Free Soil Party.^[14] It voted for Martin van Buren and John P. Hale in Wisconsin's first two presidential elections,^[15] and its opposition to the spread of slavery meant it became rock-ribbed Republican in subsequent elections,^[15] even resisting the appeal of Wisconsin native Robert La Follette when he carried the state in 1924.^[16]

Growth of conservative suburbs and resort towns has meant Walworth – unlike most historically free-soil Yankee counties^[16] – has failed to trend Democratic.^[17] The only Democrat to carry the county has been Woodrow Wilson in 1912 with only 36 percent of the vote, and the best Democratic percentages have been by Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and Barack Obama in 2008, both of whom received around 48 percent and narrowly lost the county while sweeping every antebellum free state.
