Storey County, home to the historic Comstock Lode and fewer than 3,500 residents, has voted Republican by double digits for decades — the 2024 margin of nearly 39 points reflects a rural, lightly populated electorate with little demographic counterweight.
The Republican margin in Storey County reached its widest at thirty-nine points in 2024. The margin in 2024 was thirty-nine points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Storey County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $93,409, a 81% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 4,140 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 Paulding County and Washington County.
