Place narrative
Medicine Bow sits at roughly 6,600 feet elevation along the old Union Pacific line, and its tiny electorate — often delivering lopsided margins — illustrates how sparsely populated Wyoming precincts can swing county-level tallies.

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.
† 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.
