With fewer than 750 residents spread across a flat Permian Basin landscape, Borden County recorded one of the widest presidential margins in Texas in 2024, reflecting the deep Republican lean common to sparsely settled West Texas ranch country.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 94.4 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 91.6 points in 2020. The 2024 margin was 91.5 points.
A population of 713, a 90% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $65,625 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Glascock County and Shackelford County.
