The featured map: every value and its source
Lake County, Indiana · 2024 · Presidential margin, percentage points of all votes. Precinct fills; own-city margin tags.
The precinct map and the five city tags come from the original atlas source snapshot. Each tag uses that city’s own 2024 totals, never one ward or a county value. The mapped precinct total differs from the county source total by 2,672 votes; the source does not explain this discrepancy. This historical illustration is separate from the current release coverage stated above.
