Fact check: Which counties in Idaho have the highest percentage of democrat voters?
1. Summary of the results
Based on the available analyses, the sources provide limited but revealing information about Democratic voting patterns in Idaho counties. Blaine County emerges as the strongest Democratic stronghold, with 61.7% of voters supporting Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in the 2024 general election, making it one of only two counties where a majority supported the Democratic candidate [1].
Ada County shows concentrated Democratic support in specific geographic areas, particularly in central Boise and the North and East Ends, though the county overall is becoming increasingly Republican-leaning [2]. The statewide context reveals that Democrats represent only 12.22% of registered voters in Idaho, compared to 45.19% Republicans and 36.27% unaffiliated voters [3].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints
The analyses reveal significant gaps in available data that prevent a complete answer to the original question:
- No comprehensive county-by-county breakdown of Democratic voter percentages is provided across all Idaho counties [4] [3] [5]
- Only partial data from select counties - specifically Blaine County's 2024 presidential results and Ada County's geographic patterns - limits the ability to rank all counties [1] [2]
- The second county where Harris received majority support is mentioned but not identified by name [1]
- Historical trends and demographic factors that might explain why certain counties lean Democratic are not addressed in the available sources
3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original question itself does not contain misinformation or bias - it's a straightforward factual inquiry about voting patterns. However, the lack of comprehensive data in the sources means any definitive ranking of Idaho counties by Democratic voter percentage would be incomplete or potentially misleading.
The available information suggests that Democratic support in Idaho is highly concentrated geographically - both in specific counties like Blaine County and within particular neighborhoods of larger counties like Ada County [1] [2]. This concentration pattern, combined with Idaho's overall Republican dominance where 67.1% supported Trump in 2024 [1], indicates that Democratic strongholds represent small pockets within a predominantly conservative state.
