Washakie County, anchored by the small city of Worland in the Bighorn Basin, returned a 63-point Republican presidential margin in 2024 — consistent with its deep-red pattern across recent election cycles in a sparsely populated agricultural and oil-producing region.
The Republican margin in Washakie County reached its widest at sixty-five points in 2020. The margin in 2024 was sixty-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
Washakie County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $65,714, a 83% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 7,703 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 Weston County and Billings County.
