USA Simple Civics — 2024 election maps Rebuilt October 17, 2026. Batch 390. PURPOSE Three maps distinguish land area, the geographic distribution of reported votes, and the official Electoral College result. They replace the earlier illustrative images; they do not reuse guessed shapes, hand-colored results, or invented dots. RESULTS County/area data: Tony McGovern, United States General Election Presidential Results by District, Ward, or County from 2008 to 2024. The repository identifies Fox News as its 2024 data source. It is a research compilation, not the official certifying authority. Counts can differ from final certified results, including because of later corrections or write-in reporting. Do not present the county CSV sum as an official national vote total. https://github.com/tonmcg/US_County_Level_Election_Results_08-24 Snapshot tree: 8cccc82f9235dced94a76d143c59a43f4a6bf979 Original CSV: https://github.com/tonmcg/US_County_Level_Election_Results_08-24/blob/8cccc82f9235dced94a76d143c59a43f4a6bf979/2024_US_County_Level_Presidential_Results.csv Original file SHA256: 538a8fbe2d7a20524b049dd1b3b9ec7e215c4433d99f91fbd7b0dea05270136a Electoral votes: National Archives, 2024 Electoral College Results. https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/2024 All 50 states and D.C. match the official results. Trump 312; Harris 226; total 538; majority 270. Nevada is Trump 6. Maine is Harris 3 / Trump 1; Nebraska is Trump 4 / Harris 1. Purple denotes split electoral votes, not a tie. Maine: Harris statewide and District 1; Trump District 2. Nebraska: Trump statewide and Districts 1 and 3; Harris District 2. GEOGRAPHY U.S. Census Bureau 2023 cartographic boundary shapefiles, 1:500,000, retrieved from the compilation repository's cartography/2024/build directory: cb_2023_us_county_500k.zip cb_2023_us_state_500k.zip cb_2023_02_sldl_500k.zip https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/cartographic-boundary.html The lower 48 use EPSG:5070; Alaska EPSG:3338; Hawaii EPSG:26905. Alaska and Hawaii are separate insets, at different geographic scales. Hawaii's remote northwestern islands are omitted; the main islands are shown. Geometries are simplified by 0.12 drawing units, with topology preserved. Small enclosed places are drawn after larger shapes so independent cities remain visible. JOINS AND COVERAGE The original source has 3,160 reporting-area rows, all with unique codes. D.C.'s eight ward results are aggregated to its single district geometry. The published CSV has 3,153 rows. All match a mapped reporting area. The map has 3,154 areas: the remaining area, Kalawao County, Hawaii, has no result in the source. It is gray on the land map; no voter circle is drawn. This is missing data, not zero votes and not a result for either candidate. Alaska uses 40 state House districts, not boroughs/census areas. Connecticut uses nine planning regions, not the eight historical counties. Virginia's independent cities are separate reporting areas. CIRCLES One circle per area with reported data. A point within the largest polygon is used to locate it. Circle radius = 24 * sqrt(reported votes / 1,000,000) drawing units, so area is directly proportional to reported total presidential votes. The same circle-area scale applies to Alaska, Hawaii, and the lower 48. Counts include all candidates in the source, not just the two major parties. Circle color shows the area's winning major-party candidate. All source rows have a strictly higher Trump or Harris count; no ties occur. This is not a dot-density map and dots do not each represent a fixed number of voters. Circles can overlap; small circles are drawn last. Color does not imply every voter in an area supported its winner. Named cities only help locate counties. CHECKS Verified unique join keys, coverage, D.C. aggregation, circle-area scaling, all 51 electoral allocations and 312/226/538 totals. Maricopa and Miami-Dade are red; Nevada is red on the Electoral College map. Miami-Dade's Trump and Harris counts match Florida's official county results (605,590 and 480,355). https://results.elections.myflorida.com/DetailRpt.Asp?ELECTIONDATE=11%2F5%2F2024&RACE=PRE The maps do not claim an independent official audit of every county count.
