2020 GE Official Precinct Results Sources by State

[RI]

Will anyone do maps for these later?

I am making a national map again this cycle, as with last time. I'm waiting for official certified results, though, as updating last time was a big pain.

[RI]

I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but I've contacted a number of officials in KY, and it appears almost every county will not be reporting precinct results this year.

jimrtex, Texas precinct-level results for 2018 can be found here: https://data.capitol.texas.gov/dataset/2018_general

I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but I've contacted a number of officials in KY, and it appears almost every county will not be reporting precinct results this year.

I had noticed that the state website was curiously lacking in detail this year, compared to 2018, where some 90% of counties had precinct results available via the KY Elections ENR engine, but had assumed it was just a delay in reporting county detailed numbers, or posting data by the State.

Did anyone provide an explanation or rationale?

Basically, due to COVID, counties in KY (except Jefferson, I think, as I've found precinct data for them) went to a county-wide voting center system where everyone's ballots were mixed together. This are some of the explanations I've received so far:

Per the State Board of Elections there will not be any precinct level statistics available.

To allow for the possibility of true voting centers, the ballots weren’t labeled by their specific precincts.  For example in Villa Hills, the ballot is the same for all residents which was ballot face number #56, but in a regular election ballot #56 becomes C133, C134, C135, C136 and C137.  This coding makes them precinct specific and that is how we track precinct level results.  Even though I had 57 different ballot faces for this election, if there had been precinct specific setups, I would actually would have had over 125 different ballot faces.

[W]ith operating under the emergency regulation and using the voting centers that could serve anyone in the county, we do not have the ability to break down the results by precinct.

Did Kansas go the way of Kentucky in 2020 with Precinct Results?

Sure, I was expecting them to update later as they did in 2018, but additionally it appears that they may have deleted their Previous Precinct Results.

@RI or (anyone else trying to find precinct results from the official State Election agencies), is this simply a glitch or do we need to go back to the County by County system for pulling precinct numbers?

I've contacted KS but have not yet heard anything.

I am getting impatient waiting for certain States to update centralized sources so decided to expand my terrain slightly, and hopefully am not wasting too much time locating links for data, which will be posted elsewhere shortly.

Also Skye, I've pulled down all of CO's precinct results, so I can upload a map of the Denver area, if you're interested.

Just wanted to share this: Lauderdale County, MS will not give you their latest precinct map, but they will direct you to a private company from which you can buy the map. Talk about a third world operation.

Also, Ohio County, Indiana has certified a clear error in one of their precincts which gives Jorgensen 300+ votes and Trump zero.

[RI]

Seminole---   Although there is a precinct option the website is funky and might only include ED precinct numbers, so I'm holding off on linking until I can confirm.

In the past, Seminole County has not broken down non-ED votes by precinct, and I don't expect them to this year either.

How many precincts are missing for a national map to be created ?

I have official precinct-level results for all counties except: 37 in MO, 2 in MI, 3 in PA, 6 in NY, 5 in CA, 5 in IN, a bunch in KS (they should be releasing statewide precinct results within a few weeks) and TX, and whatever is going on in KY. I'm also waiting on NC to release their results with absentees assigned to polling places, which they usually release in January or February. There are also a handful of counties where I have the results, but am waiting on updated precinct maps.

FYI, the file for Coke County, TX appears to be incomplete.

jimrtex,

I've complied almost all of the available TX precinct data from the SOS Google Drive and county sites into a spreadsheet and have been contacting the remaining counties. Unfortunately, most have not gotten back to me yet.

The file for Liberty County on the Google Drive is laid out in a very strange format which I can't decipher easily. Do you have any insight there?

What does your spreadsheet look like? e.g. What are the columns?

County, Precinct, Trump, Biden, Jorgensen, Hawkins, Write-in. I haven't been keeping the breakdown by EV/ED/Mail, but I may go back in and pull that at some point.

Gray County has uploaded a new .csv file (January 14). Had you captured the old version, and if so, what has changed?

I don't see any differences between the two versions which I have.

To update this, I now have official precinct-level results for all counties except: 36 in TX, 16 in MO, 6 in NY, 4 in PA, 2 in CA, 1 in MI, and whatever is going on in KY.

Do you have maps (shapefiles) for Texas?

I've found this file but haven't matched it to any data yet.

Much like 2016, New York times has detailed precinct map although still some counties and states missing https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/2020-election-map.html

I built their complete 2016 precinct dataset, but they're attempting to fly solo this time around. I'm not particularly impressed so far.

[RI]

I've managed to wring precinct data out of several of the outstanding TX counties, but I'm still missing 23. I've called most of these counties and put in requests, but they've been slow to get back to me.

San Saba County said they weren't producing precinct data. Freestone County is requiring a request in writing and payment. When I called Mason County, they said they couldn't give me results as the county clerk was out with a serious case of COVID.

Have you been in contact with the SOS?

The reporting of the precinct data to the SOS is state law (Texas Election Code 67.017).

The data is also part of the county canvass and placed in the county election register. I'm wondering whether they can charge beyond duplication costs?

When I had discovered TEC 67.017, they replied that I was correct, that it was public information, and here were the links to the data.

Yes, I've contacted the TX SOS, who said it's on the counties; if they haven't uploaded it to the Google Drive, they don't have it yet. They plan to reach back out to the counties in the next couple of weeks.

I have finished MO and PA. All I am missing data for are 2 counties in NY, 1 county in CA, and 23 counties in TX.

So, you have data from all precincts in the US except for those ?

What are the missing counties in NY and CA ?

All counties which have results available, yes (i.e. most counties in KY are not and will never be reporting precinct results this year).

I am missing Sutter County, CA and now down to Oneida County, NY (Chenango, NY was the other, but it was posted today).

How exactly are you handling VA? They don't allocate early/mail-in ballots voting to precincts, IIRC.

This is true of a number of states, not just VA. For my maps, I'll be estimating the distribution of unassigned absentee/early votes to precincts based on a fairly simple algorithm I've devised and tested using results from states which do break down each type of vote (i.e. absentee/early/election day) by precinct (a roughly 30k precinct sample).

Just waiting on Oneida County, NY and Sutter County, CA...

Did you contact KY if they can convert their county results into precinct results ?

Why did they stop producing precinct results this time ?

I was able to get "precinct" results or at least ballot face results for about 30 or so counties in KY, including Jefferson and Fayette. The other counties I contacted said they could not provide detailed data. The reason is that they moved from using individual polling places for each precinct to countywide voting centers due to COVID, and they didn't print the voter's precinct on the ballot, so they have no way of telling them apart.

I have Oneida County, NY now. Only missing one!
