No Democrat has won the state since 1976 , and it is now considered one of the safest red states .
As of the 2020 presidential election [update] , this is the last election in which the following counties voted for a Democratic presidential candidate: Chesterfield , Georgetown , Abbeville , Lancaster , and Union .[2]
