Lee County's majority-Black population anchors a narrow but persistent Democratic lean in a state that has shifted decisively rightward at the presidential level over the past two decades.

The Democratic margin in Lee County reached its widest at ninety-five points in 1932. The margin in 2024 was four points — still decisive.

Lee County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $34,375, a 41% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 8,359 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Clay County and St. Helena Parish.
