How America Votes

131,187,337 total votes counted nationwide
Hover an area for its results; click to open its page. The toggle switches between county and state granularity. Alaska reports results by legislative district rather than borough, so it has no county shading; its statewide totals are on the state view and in the table below. Kansas City, MO reports separately from its surrounding counties, so those counties' shading excludes the city's votes.
