HOW WE REPORT THIS PAGE
The Washington Post uses vote count data from the Associated Press, which uses a 50-state network of local reporters to gather election results directly from state, county and local elections offices. AP checks vote tallies against state and county election websites to ensure they are accurate. AP also calls winners when they are certain that a candidate will win. The Post is reporting AP race calls during the 2024 primaries. Read more details about AP's vote counting process.
