Little River, tucked into the southwestern corner of Arkansas along the Red River, returned a 54-point Republican presidential margin in 2024—among the widest in a state where rural, small-county landslides have become the norm.

The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Little River County peaked at eighty-four points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 2008 election delivered the county to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of twenty-nine points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.

The economic and demographic context is severe. Little River County's median household income of $53,344 is among the lowest of any county in the United States; 16% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Hot Spring County and Poinsett County.
