Cass County sits just south of the Omaha metro, where low-density exurban growth has accompanied consistently large Republican presidential margins — 37 points in 2024 — making it one of the more reliably right-leaning counties in the state's eastern tier.

The Republican margin in Cass County reached its widest at forty-three points in 1972. The margin in 2024 was thirty-seven points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Cass County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $91,836, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 27,161 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Seward County and Saunders County.
