How to read the map

Four marks. That's the whole key.

Before polls close, every state shows where it started. As each state counts, its own numbers take over.

  • Faint and hatched: the 2024 starting lineThe 2024 presidential result, two-party, until this state starts to count.
  • Solid split: tonight's countBlue for Democratic, red for Republican, sized by the votes counted so far. It replaces the hatching as the state reports.
  • Teal edge: early vote reportedThe state publishes early-voting numbers. Open its card for turnout so far.
  • Dashed edge: no live feed yetWe can't read this state's results live, so its 2024 starting line stays on the map all night.

Nobody is called the winner here. Counts are unofficial until each state finishes its canvass.

Data & trust

Public records. Open licences.

Everything on the map comes from a public source we can name, under a licence that allows it.

Rule one

Public records only

Results, boundaries, demographics, polling places, stations and party rosters as their owners publish them.

Rule two

Licences we can show

CC0, CC BY, MIT or public domain. Attribution is on every card and in the credits drawer.

Rule three

No voter-file data on the public map

Voter figures are precinct totals. No names, no addresses, no donor records.

The colours never change sides. In every result red is always Republican and blue is always Democratic, for every state, under the same rules. The flag at the top of this page is decoration, not a result.

Questions

Before Tuesday

Is it free? Do I need an account?

Live Voting, the globe and the Political Academy are free and need no account. Sign in with Google only if you want to save views and your Academy progress.

Where do the numbers come from?

Live counts come from each state's own official results feed, such as the Texas Secretary of State; 13 states have a feed we read on the night. The 2024 starting line comes from the MIT Election Data + Science Lab. Every count is unofficial until the state finishes its canvass.

When do results appear?

After the polls close in each state. Each state card shows its poll-closing time. Until then the state shows its 2024 result as a faint, hatched starting line.

Does Political Eye call races?

No. Nobody is called the winner here. We show the counts as each state reports them.

Why does my state have a dashed edge?

A dashed edge means we have no live feed for that state yet, so its 2024 result stays on the map all night. Your state's election office publishes its official results.

Is the map partisan?

No. In every result red is always Republican and blue is always Democratic, for every state, with the same rules. The flag on this page is decoration, not a result.

What do you collect about me?

This page runs no tracking or advertising scripts. The map shows no individual voter: every voter figure is a precinct total. The newsletter sign-up is beehiiv's form: your email goes to beehiiv only when you sign up, and you can unsubscribe from any issue.
