Place narrative
Kenmare sits in one of North Dakota's most reliably Republican-leaning corners, where oil-patch employment and grain farming shape voter priorities. Its sub-1,000 population makes precinct-level swings statistically volatile in statewide races.

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, 2012 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.
