Woods County, anchored by Alva in the state's northwestern wheat belt, delivers some of the state's widest presidential margins, reflecting a sparsely populated agricultural region where Republicans have dominated for decades.
The Democratic margin in Woods County peaked at thirty-six points in 1932. By 1952 the county had flipped, voting Republican for the first time in many years. The 2024 margin was sixty-four points, the most Republican-leaning result in the county's modern history.
The economic context is the key. Woods County's median household income of $53,275 sits well below state and national norms, and 20% 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 Blount County and Ellis County.
