How the vote was cast

Of the 792,001 votes counted so far, 15,932 come with the ballot type published. Mail ballots are usually counted first and election-day ballots last, so a lead built on one can move as the others land. Each bar below is that way of voting on its own: who won it, and by how much.

Live returns from the Decision Desk HQ public results feed. Percentages are the share within this contest. Where a county publishes no precinct count, progress is its counted vote against the expected total, or the feed’s own completion flag, and is labeled as such. Lead confidence describes how much of the vote is still out, not a polling forecast. Results are unofficial until certified.
