75 counties, each filled by 2020 D-vs-R margin. Hover any county for its result.
Arkansas Democrats did not nominate a candidate in 2020. Ricky Dale Harrington Jr. ran as an Independent and was the principal challenger to Tom Cotton (R). The county map below is the actual Tom Cotton–Ricky Dale Harrington Jr. contest: Independent-won counties are gold, and major-party-won counties use the true candidate-to-candidate margin. The D–R presidential-baseline comparison is withheld because that axis does not describe this contest.

Source. MIT Election Data + Science Lab — 2020 US Senate returns, party-classified by literal ballot party · county returns aggregated from precinct-level results. Arkansas had no Democratic nominee in this contest; the county view is therefore keyed to the actual major-party-versus-Independent matchup rather than a D–R axis. Real returns — nothing estimated.
