Migration is one input to a place’s political change, not its cause — a shift can also come from residents changing their minds, generational turnover, or turnout. These figures describe the places people moved between; they do not measure how any mover voted.

Sumner County, anchored by the small city of Wellington, delivered a 50-point Republican margin in 2024 — a figure consistent with the heavily Republican tilt of south-central Kansas's wheat-belt counties.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 27.8 points in 1912 and a Republican high of 60.9 points in 1928. The 2024 margin was 50.1 points.
A population of 22,353, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $63,951 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Baker County and Sherman County.
