2020 Democratic presidential primaries
AkashicThe 2020 store holds county-level primary returns for 50 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 2020 Democratic contest. States without county returns in the store stay neutral — absence of coverage, not a result.
