Home to Cheyenne, the state capital, Laramie County combines a mid-sized urban core with surrounding ranch country, producing Republican presidential margins that have held above 30 points even as its population edges toward 82,000.

The Republican margin in Laramie County reached its widest at fifty-seven points in 1892. The margin in 2024 was thirty-two points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Laramie County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $80,173, a 80% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 101,060 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 Shelby County and Tehama County.
