Eddy County's roughly 2,700 residents make it among the least populous in North Dakota, yet it has returned presidential margins exceeding 40 points in recent cycles, reflecting the deep red alignment typical of the state's rural agricultural interior.

The Democratic margin in Eddy County peaked at fifty-three points in 1932. By 2012 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was forty-five points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.

The economic context is the key. Eddy County's median household income of $50,850 sits well below state and national norms, and 14% 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 Taylor County and Elk County.
