 This shift continued with the reapportionment of the state's legislative districts that took effect in 1994, when the Republican Party took control of both chambers of the state legislature, consolidating a Republican party dominance that lasted until the 2004 reapportionment produced more swing districts and a brief period of Democratic legislative majorities in the mid-2000s.In more recent presidential elections, Montana has voted for the Republican candidate in all but two elections from 1952 to the present.The state last supported a Democrat for president in 1992, when Bill Clinton won a plurality victory.
