Prince Edward County, home to Longwood University, has shifted from reliably Republican territory to a near-tossup, with its mix of college-town voters and rural Southside demographics producing one of Virginia's more closely contested small counties.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached seventy-three points in 1912; the Republican margin reached forty-six points in 1972. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Prince Edward County's demographics — a population of 21,996, a 62% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $56,315 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Sumter County and Osceola County.
