Each row is a county-allocated estimate of U.S. House votes for this district — county returns apportioned onto its boundary, not precinct-counted. “Vote lead” is the estimated local lead here, not necessarily the winner of the full contest.
With a 2024 presidential margin of R+3.6, District 46 sits well below the statewide Republican norm, making it an outlier in a state where double-digit GOP margins are routine.

A population of 16,820, a 82% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $77,682 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 41 and State House District 11.
