About these numbers
Vote counts are the certified state results compiled by the MIT Election Data and Science Lab from the Clerk of the U.S. House's official statistics and released under CC0. Electoral votes follow the Census Bureau's House apportionment in force at each election. They are shown as the state's result pledged them; the few electors who voted otherwise or abstained (one each in 1976, 1988, 2000 and 2004; seven in 2016) are not reflected.
