Notes
- ^ U.S. CensusVoting Tabulation Districts (VTDs), with revisions, were used in place of true precincts for 74 of 77 counties. Not all VTDs were able to be matched to precinct data—these are offset in a separate color. Only votes for Bush and Dukkakis were available, accounting for 99.21% of votes cast for president.
