Minnesota

@Ali Zifan: I'm not sure using CDs for Minnesota is the best idea -- your edit summary says "Minnesota's boundaries (congressional districts)", but although the state party website gives a summary for the results per congressional district, the actual caucuses elect delegates to conventions on the level of what are called basic political organization units, which can be counties or state senate/house districts. The link I posted in my own summary, here, provides a list of the caucus results at the BPOU level. The vast majority of county results are given, and the half a dozen or so counties that aren't can be figured out from the district results based on where those districts are located (for example, Dakota County is made up of HD52A/B and SD51, 54, 56, 57, and 58). Since these results are available and the congressional districts aren't the official boundaries, I don't think there's any good reason to reduce the granularity of the map so drastically.

I updated the map based on theguardian.com. I actually didn't know that Minnesota election was by county. Thank you for updating the main map.:) Ali Zifan 02:24, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Murray County, Oklahoma

Murray County, Oklahoma is incorrectly pictured as having went for Marco Rubio. In fact, the county went for Donald J. Trump. Can this error be fixed? Eharding (talk) 23:26, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Carson and Kasich Colors

Since Carson won a single county in Alaska his color is on the County Results Map. But with my eyes, glasses and computerscreen it is almost impossible to see his colour apart from Kasichs colour. Is it just me being blind or would it be beneficial to assign Carson and his single county another colour? Jack Bornholm (talk) 08:47, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

@Jack Bornholm: the color selection is suboptimal and is based on English Wikipedia's colors, which are in turn based off when there were approximately 400000 different candidates and no one knew who would be here. I suggest moving Carson to purple and changing all the upstream articles. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Knox, Maine and Kansas Counties

I don't know how to edit an SVG file so please correct: Trump won Knox county in Maine. http://mainegop.com/final-maine-gop-caucus-results/

Also here is an excel doc of results by county for Kansas: http://media.wix.com/ugd/8353d3_1a8d492ffcd94cc08c41ee357ca14386.xlsx?dn=2016%20Kansas%20GOP%20Caucus%20Initial%20Results.xlsx

• Trump didn't win Aroostook, notice it's separated into north and south for some reason

Thank you. I have added the results; please add a link to the Democratic results at File talk:Democratic Party presidential primaries results by county, 2016.svg if you have them. Trump won Aroostook when the results are aggregated. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 23:31, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

@73.34.229.110: How did you find the Republican results? MB298 (talk) 01:31, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

It was on the Kansas GOP website. On the democrats' site they just list results by CD. Not sure why, but the Democrats seem to like things more unnecessarily complicated compared to the GOP, eg. using delegate equivalents in Iowa instead of just taking the damn popular vote.--Dereich1 (talk) 21:27, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Virgin Islands

All delegates won by "uncommitted". http://www.decisiondeskhq.com/results/2016/primary/gop/president/u-s-virgin-islands/ --Dereich1 (talk) 06:36, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

• Updated Ali Zifan 01:38, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Speaking of Islands, Trump won Northern Marianas Islands, and Guam was won by undecided. --Dereich1 (talk) 17:29, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Wyoming

County results so far: Cruz won Goshen/Platte, Laramie, Converse/Niobrara, Lincoln/Uita, Big Horn+Sheridan, Hot Springs+Washakie, Carbon+Sweetwater. Rubio won Albany+Natrona. Trump won Sublette/Teton. (Counties are being paired in results) --Dereich1 (talk) 23:14, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

I've filled it in. MB298 (talk) 23:24, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Alaska

Alaska is not correct. Where the results were taken from is by state house district, and what is colored in are boroughs --98.169.145.227 21:43, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

This has been sorted out by Spesh531, thanks (and big thanks of course to Spesh531). Nizolan (talk) 13:59, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Nizolan! —SPESH531Other 06:08, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Crook/Weston Counties Uncommitted in Wyoming

Why are the results in the combined Crook and Weston counties considered uncommitted? Results show 27 votes for Ted Cruz and none for any other candidate. Is there a reason for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cookieo131 (talk • contribs) 19:18, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Uncommitted won 31 delegate votes per the New York Times. Some news sources ignore uncommitted votes. Nizolan (talk) 00:38, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Navajo County, AZ was won by Cruz

Navajo County, AZ was won by Cruz, and the map should reflect that. I don't know why the state borders are appearing dark in my version. I did not change the color of the borders, but for some reason when I downloaded the file the borders appear that color before I have made any changes. Either way, it is more important that the map be accurate. If someone does not like the color of the borders they should change them, while leaving Navajo County the correct color.--Tdl1060 (talk) 19:14, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Is there a source for this or are we just accepting it at face value? Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:20, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

I gave the source in my edit summary. The source is the Arizona Secretary of State.[1] The users who reverted the edits based on the border color would have seen it, and should have known that they were reverting to an inaccurate version. Either way, the map has been corrected, so it is a moot point.--Tdl1060 (talk) 18:07, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

It's not a moot point because I was about 24 hours away from putting it back and I may not have seen the edit summary. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 21:56, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Most of the changes are cited in the edit summary, if they are cited at all. I cited it in the edit summary, which is more than most users who have made changes to the map have done. Very few are cited in the talk. Your edits, for instance, have generally only had the state abbreviation as an edit summary, while others have just given "updating" as their edit summary. Are those edits just to be accepted at face value? --Tdl1060 (talk) 03:29, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Furthermore, why would you have been about to change the map back without verifying that you were changing it to a correct version? There would be far more justification for rolling back the changes that you have made to the map, since you have not cited sources for your additions. Of course, I am not advocating that anyone do this. A responsible editor would not do such a thing, because such a responsible editor would make sure the additions were in fact inaccurate before reverting.--Tdl1060 (talk) 04:01, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Zavala County, Texas was won by Cruz

According to the Texas Secretary of State, Zavala County, Texas was won by Cruz, with 23 votes, compared to Trump's 10 votes. [2] There were votes in that county, despite what some outlets have reported.--Tdl1060 (talk) 04:44, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Colorado

Colorado should be congressional districts instead of counties and Cruz won all of the congressional districts. Jvikings1 (talk) 01:22, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Neither counties nor congressional districts had results; they should therefore be colored gray. There was no popular vote and all delegates were allocated on a statewide basis, so coloring the counties as Cruz counties is inaccurate, even if Cruz won all the delegates.

New York County, New York

John Kasich won New York County (Manhattan) in New York so that needs to be fixed please! You can see full results here http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/new-york Bigs7 (talk) 06:34, 28 August 2018 (UTC))

Manhattan is filled in for Kasich, it's just small so difficult to see. MB298 (talk) 04:11, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

question and Maine county error

Hi. How does one edit SVG files? I am familiar with regular raster files, but not .SVGs. Also, there is a mistake in Maine county. The most northeast county went to Trump. I base that off of this: [3]. Hope this helps! (Lilic (talk) 03:03, 16 March 2016 (UTC))

@Lilic: Inkscape for large files. Be careful, this one is a pain to work with, though. For other files, a text editor is preferable. Also, someone switched the Maine county from Trump to Cruz, so be careful. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:59, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

The switch from that county to Cruz, from Trump, is clearly a mistake, right? (Lilic (talk) 04:11, 23 March 2016 (UTC))

@Lilic, Magog the Ogre, and MB298: Not according to the state GOP's official results, which give Cruz as the winner (see here, note there are two pages of results for Aroostook which need to be added together). I'm not sure where the NYT got its numbers from, and will withhold editing it back until someone can figure it out. (If no one can I'd go with the official figures, not the NYT's). Nizolan (talk) 13:58, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Those results clearly show Cruz was the winner in Aroostook. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 14:31, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

I've changed it back. Nizolan (talk) 00:40, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I believe that the results on the New York Times link is correct and that the link from Maine is wrong. The reason why ti is wrong is because the total number of votes is too few. those are not the complete results. The numbers from the new york times give "more" votes, so that's significant. In as much as we can't come to an agreement, well, we should put some label on the page of the map that "the map is disputed". (Lilic (talk) 17:51, 21 April 2016 (UTC))

margin of victory map

See File talk:Democratic Party presidential primaries results by county, 2016.svg#Would it be worth it to... for discussion. MB298 (talk) 00:04, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Aroostook county is wrong

Trump was always the winner in that county. The source that people are using that show Cruz won: http://mainegop.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/FINALMEGOPNUMBERS.pdf math doesn't even add up. That source lists numbers for individual precincts and they only show Aroostook having two when there are supposed to be three. If you add up all the votes listed in the source, you only get 8437 for Cruz and 5938 for Trump even though they show 8550 and 6070 in the totals. The source clearly screwed up in that county. It is unbelievable that this map was showing the wrong winner for months. This is what happens when people put blind faith in one source. Please change Aroostook county to Trump. TL565 (talk) 04:57, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

@TL565: so if you seem to know the correct numbers better than the original source, can you produce them? A third party source would be apppreciated. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 07:52, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/maine, http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/statesub.php?off=0&year=2016&elect=2&evt=C&f=0&fips=23003&submit=Retrieve. There are more votes in these sources. Once again, The votes in the gop source don't even add up to the totals. They clearly missed a precinct. TL565 (talk) 10:11, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

OK, I agree. FWIW US Election Atlas was down for me when I wrote that so I couldn't verify. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:09, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Empty parts

Will Colorado be filled in as one state since it can't be divided? Also, what do we do with North Dakota? Adamtt9 (talk) 18:43, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

@Adamtt9: I think Colorado should be filled in as one state, we'll see how ND delegates vote at the convention and it can then be filled in as one state based on delegate votes; same thing with the island territories that voted uncommitted. MB298 (talk) 01:09, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
