Logan County, nestled in the Arkansas River Valley between the Ouachita and Ozark uplifts, recorded an R+62.2 presidential margin in 2024—among the widest in a state already dominated by Republican-leaning rural counties.

The shift began with civil rights. 2000 marked the realignment in Logan County, by a fifteen points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at sixty-two points in 2024. The 2024 margin was sixty-two points.

The political shift has tracked, in Logan County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 89% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $58,555, and a 14% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Chattooga County and Dyer County.
