Who wins
99+ in 100Cole Jester’s chance of winning
The count should finish around Jester +28.2, most likely between Jester +28.0 and Jester +28.3.
About 99% of the vote we expect is counted, and 75 of 75 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.
What the count shows
The counties compared cast 70% as many votes as in 2024, from 80% in Chicot County to 61% in Cross County.
