 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump swept the region in the 2016 election, and he also carried the critical Native American vote in Choctaw Country and the state-at-large (most likely due to his conservative and limited-government appeal to both white and Native American voters in the region).According to the New York Times exit polls, Trump also won the Native American vote nationally over Hillary Clinton by a narrow 2 point margin.Choctaw Country bills itself as the "Deer Capital of the World."
