Webster County's roughly 2,400 residents make it among the smallest in Georgia by population, and its voting patterns have tracked solidly Republican at the presidential level for over two decades, consistent with rural southwest Georgia's broader demographic shift.
The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached ninety-six points in 1912; the Republican margin reached sixty-three points in 1972. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.
Webster County's demographics — a population of 2,381, a 41% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $46,792 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Baker County and Clark County.
