Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ A faithless elector voted Edwards for president and vice president in the Electoral College, otherwise Kerry would have won 252 (46.8%) votes.
  2. ^ If not for faithless electors, Trump and Pence would have won 306 Electoral College votes each, while Clinton and Kaine would have won 232 votes.
