A permanent, source-linked view of the county's 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential history, turnout, election-administration context, and non-conclusive review signals.
“Other” includes all other loaded presidential candidates and write-ins. Margin is the absolute gap between the Democratic and Republican vote buckets, divided by all loaded presidential votes.
Equipment metadata is jurisdiction context only. It is not a vote or turnout row, does not prove or disprove an advisory signal, and does not guarantee every precinct or ballot mode used one identical setup.
These calculated indicators are prompts for checking source data, reporting grain, denominators, and local context. They are not evidence or findings of fraud, misconduct, or an incorrect election outcome.
average down ballot difference · severity 15.58
Average down-ballot difference
Average President-vs-comparison difference crossed threshold: DEM -7.70%, REP 15.76%.
Calculation detail
The average gap between presidential votes and the same-party comparison contest is large enough to review. Split-ticket voting and candidate or contest differences can explain the gap; this is an advisory flag, not proof of misconduct.
Enough local result rows have unusually large presidential-versus-comparison-contest differences to pass the outlier-count threshold. This is an advisory review flag, not proof of misconduct.
vote share pattern · severity 15.58
Vote-share pattern
Vote-share correlation crossed threshold: Kamala Harris r=0.945, Donald Trump r=0.602.
Calculation detail
Bigger local reporting-unit vote totals move with candidate vote share strongly enough to pass the review threshold. Reporting-unit size, geography, demographics, and vote-method mix can explain the pattern; this is an advisory flag, not proof of misconduct.

Verified Voting Verifier data is jurisdiction-level election-administration context. Most rows are counties, but some states report state-level rows and some county rows can summarize mixed tabulation, accessible-device, absentee, poll-book, or other configurations. Treat it as source-linked context, not proof every precinct in a county used one identical setup, and not a turnout or vote-result source.Open source
