26 Green
Green County (pop. 37,000) is located between Dane County and the Illinois border. Despite having fairly low population density and a generally rural appearance, the county has enough economic ties to its northern neighbor to be part of the Madison Metropolitan Statistical Area. Among all races for president, governor, or US Senator since 2000, a Republican candidate carried Green County in only the 2012 gubernatorial recall election. That being said, Democratic margins of victory in the county have not been enormous. Clinton won the county by 2.3 points in 2016 and Biden by 3.2 in 2020.
