Baldwin County voters backed winners on Nov. 5, supporting Republican candidates in a trend mirrored nationwide that brought former President Donald Trump back to the White House.

As of 2023 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, there are 253,507 people living in Baldwin County. Of 207,667 registered voters, Baldwin's probate judge reported 121,694 ballots were cast, a turnout of 58.6%.

Those voters backed Trump at a higher rate than the statewide total, with 78.36% of Baldwin voters choosing the former president, representing 95,144 votes. Statewide, Trump received 64.59% of the vote.

Democrat Kamala Harris received 20.4% of the Baldwin vote, or 24,763 votes.

Other votes went to three independent candidates and write-ins. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received 0.54% of the Baldwin vote, or 657 votes, Jill Stein earned 0.14%, or 169 votes, and Chase Oliver got 0.20%, or 240 votes, while there were 440 write-in votes cast for president in Baldwin County, representing 0.36%.

The same trend was the case for the U.S. House of Representative race in the 1st Congressional District, with 80.04% of Baldwin voters choosing Republican Barry Moore to serve his third term in Congress, marking his first in the newly drawn district. He got 78.43% of the vote across the district, which includes Baldwin, Mobile, Washington, Monroe and some of Escambia County.

Moore attended a Republican watch party Tuesday night in Robertsdale. Since 2021, Moore, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, previously represented Alabama's 2nd Congressional District, but where he lives now falls in the 1st District after a federal court approved a revised congressional map last year. After securing his party's nomination in March, defeating U.S. Rep. Jerry Carl, he easily defeated Democratic challenger Tom Holmes.

Baldwin County voters also supported the statewide amendment, which allows the Franklin County School System to sell a large tract of land it owns in Walker and Fayette counties, at 79.15%, compared to 74.37% statewide.

Locally, all three amendments passed, paving the way for the creation of landmark districts in Bon Secour, White House Fork and Stapleton aimed at maintaining local control and preventing encroachment by neighboring municipalities.

Turnout Tuesday was lower than in 2020, when Baldwin County saw a 62.4% turnout, though only equating to 110,214 ballots cast of 176,642 registered voters.
