Against our final poll is the count's Democratic margin less our final poll's (each the Democrat's share less the Republican's; the poll's shares include undecided respondents). Early counts lean toward whichever ballots a state counts first, mail or Election Day, so read it beside how much of the expected vote is in.

Turnout against our model holds the votes counted against our voter-file turnout model (as of 2026-10-19): below 100% while the count runs; once every precinct reports, above 100% is more voters than we expected.

County turnout is not compared here: our model places only 86% of Ohio's expected voters in a county.

By county we have no vote-share model outside Florida and North Carolina, so counties show the count as the state reports it.

The count is unofficial: each state's own election-night results, read every few minutes; it shows once the state posts votes after its first polls close.
