Chase County, anchored by the small city of Imperial, sits in the southwestern Panhandle and recorded an R+77.4 presidential margin in 2024—among the widest in a state already dominated by rural Republican strongholds.

The Republican margin in Chase County reached its widest at seventy-eight points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was seventy-seven points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Chase County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $68,173, a 79% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 3,671 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Washington County and Elbert County.
