Haskell County, nestled in the Ouachita foothills of eastern Oklahoma, recorded an R+69.7 margin in 2024, reflecting the sharp rural realignment that has reshaped formerly competitive Democratic territory across the region over the past two decades.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Haskell County peaked at fifty points in 1932; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 2004 election delivered the county to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of eleven points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.
The economic and demographic context is severe. Haskell County's median household income of $49,806 is among the lowest of any county in the United States; 21% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Choctaw County and Hughes County.
