Counties led. A lead in a county is not a win: only the IEBC declares.

How to read these figures

Verified forms only. A station counts here once its Form 34A, photographed at the station by our observer, has been checked by a second person against the photo.

Not a projection. Towns report first, so early totals lean towards urban areas. The share of the register counted is shown with every figure.

"Cannot be overturned" means the lead is larger than every registered voter at the stations still to report. It is arithmetic, not a declaration.

Only the IEBC declares results. Our figures are a check on the official count, from the stations we observe.
