Wyoming County's R+73 margin in 2024 reflects a broader realignment across southern West Virginia's coalfield communities, where Democratic registration once dominated but presidential voting patterns have shifted decisively over the past two decades.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Wyoming County peaked at forty-six points in 1964; 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 fifteen points. By 2024, the margin had widened further.
The economic and demographic context is severe. Wyoming County's median household income of $48,440 is among the lowest of any county in the United States; 23% of residents live below the federal poverty line. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Ballard County and Choctaw County.
