Migration is one input to a place’s political change, not its cause — a shift can also come from residents changing their minds, generational turnover, or turnout. These figures describe the places people moved between; they do not measure how any mover voted.

Morton County, tucked into Kansas's southwestern corner along the Oklahoma and Colorado borders, has delivered some of the state's widest presidential margins for decades, reflecting a sparse, agriculturally rooted electorate where fewer than 3,500 residents cast ballots.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 26.3 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 73.8 points in 2020. The 2024 margin was 73.4 points.
A population of 2,611, a 70% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $66,447 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Wheeler County and Jack County.
