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.

Morrison's heavily rural, timber-country landscape anchors a presidential margin that has widened each cycle since 2008, reaching R+55.9 in 2024 and placing it among the most one-sided counties in a competitive battleground state.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 49.5 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 61.2 points in 1920. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 2.5 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 55.9 points.
A population of 34,249, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $69,446 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Sherman County and Benton County.
