Analysis

There was significant protest voting against Biden in rural counties. These voters are likely Democrats In Name Only who tend to vote Republican in most elections, but remain registered as Democrats.[6] Biden carried the state by a strong margin but would lose Cimarron County to Dean Phillips, who received a plurality of the county's vote.[7]

Notes

  1. ^ Philips tied with Biden in Clark County, Missouri, but Cimarron County and Logan County, Nebraska remain his only outright victories.
  2. ^ Uygur does not meet the constitutional requirements to be President of the United States.
  3. ^ Combined votes of Stephen Lyons, Cenk Uygur, and Armando "Mando" Perez-Serrato
  4. ^ The combined votes of Lyons, Serrato, and Uygur actually outnumber the number of votes Dean Phillips got, but it is still placed behind him due to the "All Other Candidates" numbers being split.
