Claiming that their map with red and blue colors accurately represent individual county results from the 2024 presidential election is inaccurate and has received low marks overall from reviewers, they assert their map accurately displays county-by-county election outcomes for 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Context
At this writing on Nov. 8, 2024, officials had not projected the outcomes for some counties — in these instances red or blue indicated the candidate leading in that race. We identified at least three potential errors among more than 3,100 counties as possible discrepancies – while Alaska and Hawaii had not been included on our map.
On Nov. 7, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump shared (archived) on Truth Social an image displaying American counties categorized into either red or blue colors; with red representing his Republican Party dominating much of the map while blue regions represent Kamala Harris winning individual counties as part of her 2024 Presidential run for vice presidency and her subsequent reelection campaign.
Indeed, the map accurately represented which counties Trump and Harris won with few exceptions; officials hadn’t released results for all counties as of Nov. 8 when this piece was written; in those instances where no official projection had yet taken place yet, red or blue represented who led in that county.
We noted three potential discrepancies with the map; though out of over 3,100 counties it appeared minor: Pennsylvania’s Centre County — which appears red on our map — unofficial results indicated voters’ support of Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in unofficial results for Centre County which appeared red; The New York Times noted Harris led in Lehigh County which also displayed as red; finally Naugatuck Valley planning region should instead show red instead of blue based on reports by sources like Centre Daily Times.
Additionally, Alaska and Hawaii were left off of the map, while some counties in Mississippi appeared gray due to having not reported results at the time the map was drawn up.
Research led us to Reddit user u/ajmeko’s map posted Nov. 6 as “A Mostly Complete Map of Counties in the 2024 Presidential Election,” we contacted this user with our question regarding its creation; once received a response from them we will update this story with their response.
Reddit user Jaegan commented under the post and noted: “Yep, its basically an population density map of America. People may argue ‘land doesn’t vote,’ but damnit if its still fascinating!”
Other users also echoed “land doesn’t vote”, in reference to Donald Trump’s expected victory in the popular vote. One user stated, “land doesn’t vote’ is something every Redditor says… But in this election… Donald still won the popular vote!” Another person added, “people don’t vote; but this time less blue people and more red voters cast ballots”.
As soon as we discover any discrepancies with the map, this story will be updated accordingly.
