In 2012, they voted for Romney by a 22.7% margin over Obama.

Of the 3 elections (in the past 12) where they voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, it was twice for Clinton (from Arkansas) and once for Carter (from Georgia) (southerners running against non-southerners). I guess that makes them a "straight Democratic state".
