District 91 recorded a 47.9-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, reflecting the decades-long partisan realignment that has reshaped rural West Virginia from a Democratic stronghold into one of the country's most reliably Republican regions.

A population of 18,125, a 86% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $97,639 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Delegate District 96 and Delegate District 95.
