Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 97.9 points in 1896 and a Republican high of 86.8 points in 1964. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 4.2 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 35.2 points.
A population of 15,314, a 63% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $46,108 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Newton County and Dawson County.
