Cleburne, a rural Appalachian-foothills county in east Alabama, recorded an R+83.4 presidential margin in 2024 — among the widest in the state — reflecting the deep partisan consolidation that has reshaped small, majority-white rural counties over the past two decades.

The shift began with civil rights. 1980 marked the realignment in Cleburne County, by a seven points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at eighty-three points in 2024. The 2024 margin was eighty-three points.

The political shift has tracked, in Cleburne County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 93% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $55,345, and a 14% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Fannin County and Haralson County.
