Sources & method
Precinct-level returns from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab (2024 precinct returns by state, CC0), summed across every precinct in the contest. North Carolina reports votes split by method — election day, early, absentee by mail and provisional — with no combined row, so all four are added together. Office names are resolved to jurisdictions by our own normalizer; the unresolved remainder is published rather than hidden.
