Grant County's vast high-desert ranching landscape and sparse population of under 8,000 produce some of the most lopsided Republican presidential margins in Oregon, a pattern that has held consistently across recent election cycles.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 32.8 points in 1932 and a Republican high of 64.7 points in 2000. Between 2020 and 2024 the county moved 3.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 60.0 points.
A population of 7,209, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $59,450 describe the county. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Harney County and Powder River County.
