Crowley County's sparse, rural population on the eastern plains delivers some of the state's most lopsided presidential margins, with the 2024 result exceeding R+47 against a statewide environment that trended Democratic.

The Democratic margin in Crowley County peaked at twenty-one points in 1932. By 1968 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was forty-seven points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.

The economic context is the key. Crowley County's median household income of $48,826 sits well below state and national norms, and 19% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The shift here is part of a broader realignment of working-class places across the country. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Allen County and Bourbon County.
