99+ in 100Seth Walsh’s chance of winning

The count should finish around D+1.1, most likely between D+1.0 and D+1.2.

About 99% of the vote we expect is counted, and 88 of 88 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.

Scroll through Ohio, part by part. The parts follow the federal government’s metropolitan areas: each big metro’s core counties, its suburbs and outer suburbs, the smaller metro areas, then the small towns and countryside.

What the count shows

Added together, the 88 counties compared moved 12.3 points toward the Democrats from the 2024 presidential vote.

Scioto County moved most: R+48.0 for president in 2024, R+30.1 this year

The 10 counties with the largest moves from the 2024 presidential vote, among those with 2,000 or more votes for president in 2024 and a quarter of that counted, and at least half a percent of the state's 2024 vote. Each line runs from the 2024 margin to this year’s.
