Third column names the leading third-party or independent finisher. Source · MIT Election Lab · ICPSR · VEST (precinct-level 2024). Swing · margin change from the prior cycle. vs U.S. · margin relative to the national result that year. Third-party votes in 2012 are allocated from certified county totals by this place's share of each county's two-party vote — that cycle's precinct source records two-party splits. † 2004 sub-county results are estimated: the source's block-level detail for this cycle was unreliable — either county/municipality-level consolidated reporting (COVID-era) or a precinct-to-block allocation that misplaced votes — so the figures are allocated from the constituent county totals in proportion to the place and scaled to certified totals. 2016, 2020 results are estimated: for these cycles the source placed this community inside one oversized precinct that blends it with very different surrounding areas, so the precinct-to-block split smeared that precinct's mixed margin onto it — the figures shown instead scale the area's representative local precinct returns to the place's population-implied turnout.
