McIntosh County sits along Georgia's tidal coast and has delivered Republican presidential margins above 25 points in recent cycles, even as its small population of roughly 11,000 keeps it far from statewide influence.

The 2004 election was the turning point, when the Republican candidate carried the county by six points. The 2024 margin was twenty-nine points, in line with the county's new direction.

The demographics suggest why. A population of 11,312, a 64% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $50,273 situate the county in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Lincoln County and Franklin County.
