Live returns from the Decision Desk HQ public results feed, read fresh every few seconds. Percentages are each candidate’s share of the vote in that contest. A state split across two time zones closes twice, so the strip above counts down to the next closing and names the last one: Florida’s peninsula closes at 7:00 PM ET and its panhandle at 8:00 PM, which is why every statewide Florida race closes at 8:00. Where a state does not publish precinct counts, the reporting figure is counted votes against the expected turnout for that race. Lead confidence describes how much of the vote is still out, not a polling forecast. Results are unofficial until certified by each state.
