I made an update pass through the states for the 2024 turnout rate. The initial estimate was based on incomplete information on projected turnout. This is based on actual turnout and outstanding ballot reports. The turnout rate is now estimated at 62.3%

Exit polls are used to help us understand why people voted the way they did. They are not to project who will win. Use the actual election results to know who wins.
