| Kris KobachRepublican | 539,297 | 49.4% |
Every one of the 105 counties marks its count finished, but our estimate still expects about 10,900 more votes. Kobach trails by 13,456 and would need more votes than are left.

Who wins
99+ in 100Chris Mann’s chance of winning
The count should finish around D+1.2, most likely between D+1.1 and D+1.4.
About 99% of the vote we expect is counted, and 105 of 105 counties finished.
The estimate uses only the official count by county. The vote still to come in each place is expected to lean the way that place has voted so far, with room for late ballots to lean differently. Where nothing is counted yet, our pre-election estimate for that place stands in, adjusted for how far the counted places ran from it. This is not a call.

Every count on this page is the official count, from the state and its counties. Counts are unofficial until the state certifies them. The 2024 comparison is the presidential vote, Kamala Harris against Donald Trump, on the same ground. Margins are the Democrat minus the Republican, in points of all votes.
