Data and Methodology

The Associated Press (AP) and Hearst Newspapers provide election results for most federal and statewide races. AP correspondents report from election centers, and the data is tabulated accordingly.

For other races, Hearst Newspapers gathers results from local election departments. The newsroom editors and AP state and Washington bureaus call the winners and electoral votes for most races.

The expected vote percentage (EVP) is calculated based on turnout, early voting, and other factors for AP-tabulated races.

Candidates are marked as leading once AP has tabulated at least 35% of the expected vote, with a minimum two-percentage-point lead.
