Franklin County's St. Regis Mohawk Reservation adds a distinctive demographic layer to its otherwise sparsely populated North Country electorate, contributing to voting patterns that diverge from neighboring counties of similar size and density.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached forty-four points in 1964; the Republican margin reached forty-three points in 1920. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Franklin County's demographics — a population of 46,696, a 84% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $65,151 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Winona County and Franklin County.
