McAlester anchors a former coal-mining corridor where Democratic registration has historically run deep even as presidential margins have swung sharply Republican, reflecting a working-class electorate that splits more readily than statewide patterns suggest.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 62.9 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 59.0 points in 2024. Between 2020 and 2024 the metro moved 2.7 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 59.0 points.
A population of 43,561, a 68% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $55,310 describe the metro. The metro's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Batesville, AR and Ardmore, OK.
The metros whose fingerprint — 2000–2024 trajectory, demographics, ancestry, religion — sits closest to this one, and why.
Twin score (0–100) = weighted cosine between tier-standardized fingerprints: presidential margins 2000–2024 with 12-yr trend and elasticity, ACS income, age, education, population and race, top reported ancestries, and religious adherence — chips name the closest-shared dimensions and the widest gap.
