Crook County, tucked into Wyoming's northeast corner along the Black Hills, recorded an R+77.4 presidential margin in 2024—among the widest in the country—reflecting a sparse, ranching-dominated electorate with virtually no urban counterweight.

The Republican margin in Crook County reached its widest at eighty points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was seventy-seven points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Crook County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $79,637, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 7,455 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Washington County and Brown County.
