Although Harrison received less than 20% of the statewide vote, as of the
2020 presidential election, this is the last time

1892 United States presidential election in Texas[3]
^Neighboring
Brooks County and
Jim Hogg County (as well as
Menominee County, Wisconsin and the
District of Columbia) have never voted Republican but were only created – partially from the 1892 boundaries of Starr County – in 1911 and 1913 respectively. (the two non-Texas county equivalents were created much later, in the 1960s) The only county outside South Texas to have voted Democratic at every election back to and including
1920 is
North Carolina’s
Northampton County, which last voted Republican in
1896.
