Sioux County, tucked into Nebraska's northwestern Panhandle, recorded an R+76.7 margin in 2024, making it among the most one-sided counties in the country — a reflection of its sparse, ranching-dependent population and deep rural conservatism.

The Republican margin in Sioux County reached its widest at seventy-eight points in 2020. The margin in 2024 was seventy-six points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Sioux County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $53,929, a 96% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 1,171 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 Kiowa County and Hayes County.
