Okfuskee County, anchored by the small city of Okemah, has shifted decisively toward Republican presidential candidates over the past two decades, posting a 55-point margin in 2024 against a backdrop of declining population and a predominantly rural, Native American–influenced demographic mix.
The Democratic margin in Okfuskee County peaked at fifty-seven points in 1932. By 2000 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was fifty-six points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.
The economic context is the key. Okfuskee County's median household income of $48,363 sits well below state and national norms, and 26% 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 Johnston County and Craig County.
