First sourced year

Shares are of the state’s total vote for president. Margin is the leader’s lead over the second-placed candidate. “Others named” lists every other candidate the figures give a line of their own.

Notes on the figures

  1. 2020 'Other candidates' includes 5,551 blank, void, over- or under-vote or 'none of these candidates' ballots, which the source reports as lines of their own.
  2. 2016 The MIT Election Lab file gives Evan McMullin 255,060 votes; the FEC's official results give 243,690. This site shows the FEC figure.
  3. 2016 The MIT file has no rows for Jill Stein (9,438 in the FEC results) or several smaller candidates; their votes appear to be inside its McMullin figure.
  4. 2016 The state total (1,131,430) is the FEC's official total; the MIT file's total is 1,131,317. 'Other candidates' is that total minus the figures shown.
  5. 1920 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
  6. 1900 The official table's state total (93,180) is 1,035 more than the tickets it lists; the difference is counted under other candidates.
  7. 1896 The official table prints no state total here; the total is the sum of the tickets it lists.
