politics- contains original research?
I'm not sure where the sources are for this section, but they don't contain in-line citation or verification in. I'd also argue that the second paragraph lacks an encyclopedic tone.

"Lee County was historically Democratic, although less so than the majority of Texas as it was somewhat allied with the isolated Republican German-American Unionist stronghold centred upon Gillespie and Kendall Counties. It nonetheless voted Democratic in every election up to 1976 except the landslide Republican triumphs of 1956 and 1972, plus the heavily war-influenced elections of 1916 and 1940 when its German-American population was suspicious of the Democratic Party's position towards Germany.

Since 1980, like all of the rural white South, Lee County has become powerfully Republican. No Democratic presidential candidate has won a majority in the county since Jimmy Carter in 1976, although during the drought- and farm crisis-dominated 1988 election Michael Dukakis won a fourteen-vote plurality. In the past five elections the GOP candidate has always passed two-thirds of the county's vote and Donald Trump exceeded three-quarters in 2016."
