2012 Democratic presidential primaries
AkashicThe 2012 store holds county-level primary returns for 10 of the cycle’s 51 jurisdictions (50 states + DC). Every figure on this page is the sum over those covered contests — not the full national primary.
Who led each state
Each covered state filled by the candidate who led its 2012 Democratic contest. States without county returns in the store stay neutral — absence of coverage, not a result.
