Despite hosting a mid-sized regional university, Bulloch County backed the Republican presidential nominee by 29 points in 2024, reflecting a pattern common to rural southeast Georgia counties where campus influence has yet to shift the broader electorate.
The Democratic margin in Bulloch County peaked at ninety-eight points in 1932. By 1984 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was twenty-nine points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.
The economic context is the key. Bulloch County's median household income of $58,810 sits well below state and national norms, and 23% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of McDuffie County and Kershaw County.
