Antelope County's R+76.5 margin in 2024 places it among the most one-sided rural counties in the Great Plains, where a cattle-and-crop economy and sparse population density have produced consistently wide Republican margins for decades.

A population of 6,305, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $66,105 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Pierce County and Red Willow County.
