Despite the long-standing Republican voting history of Texas as a state, some counties have shown shifts in their presidential election results. Dallas County has been consistently voting blue since 2008, with Joe Biden winning by a significant margin in 2020. Tarrant County, on the other hand, has traditionally been red but saw a close race in the last election, with Biden narrowly edging out Trump. Collin County remains the most consistently Republican county in North Texas, with Trump winning by 8 points in 2020. Denton County has also been reliably Republican, although the 2020 race was the closest in 30 years, with Trump winning by less than 5 points. Despite these shifts, Texas as a whole has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Jimmy Carter in 1976. The data for this analysis comes from the Texas Secretary of State’s Office, showing the changing political landscape in some of the state’s counties. The upcoming 2024 election will likely see continued interest in how these counties vote and whether any further shifts may occur.
