Green County sits in southwest Wisconsin's historic cheese-making belt, and its electorate has swung between parties by razor-thin margins in recent cycles, making it a reliable bellwether for statewide rural-to-small-town voter shifts.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached twenty-six points in 2008; the Republican margin reached seventy-five points in 1920. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Green County's demographics — a population of 37,017, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $82,852 — 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 Sauk County and Rutland County.
