How the comparison works

Similar results do not mean the same causes

We compare each county's Democratic-versus-Republican margin in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024. Counties with the most similar seven-election records are placed closer together. Screen position shows voting similarity, not culture, demographics, or why people voted that way.

Proximity means similar presidential voting patterns across the seven covered elections (2000–2024); it does not establish shared culture, demographics, or causes.

  • 3,103 counties across 49 states and jurisdictions have results for all seven elections.
  • 1 counties are left out because at least one election is missing.
  • 4 included counties do not have a complete 2024 vote total, but their Democratic and Republican margin is known.
  • The same stored data and settings always produce the same county positions and matches.
