Medicine Lodge sits in one of Kansas's most sparsely populated corners, where ranch-economy roots and low population density have historically produced some of the state's most lopsided Republican margins at the county level.

These Census-place returns are modeled candidate-vote estimates on Census boundaries unless a row explicitly says certified. They are not automatically the official city or town return.
† 2004 sub-county results are estimated: the source reported that cycle at county or municipality level (COVID-era consolidated reporting), so block-level detail is interpolated from adjacent cycles and scaled to certified totals.
