2020 US Election Results Map
For some insight into how the states voted in 2024, we have a map that highlights how each voted. Something you may want to consider if betting on individual states' election results.
Presidential Elections by Each State
I looked back to the last US Presidential Election to see if we could get a handle on which states may offer betting opportunities.
The closest races in 2020 were as follows:
| State | Winner | Percentage Win |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia | Biden | 0.23% |
| Arizona | Biden | 0.31% |
| Wisconsin | Biden | 0.63% |
| Pennsylvania | Biden | 1.16% |
| North Carolina | Trump | 1.35% |
| Nevada | Biden | 2.39% |
| Michigan | Biden | 2.78% |
| Florida | Trump | 3.40% |
The figures below are the number of times that particular state has returned that party in the last 6 elections since 2000.
A 6-0 scoreline, either way, does not mean that the state cannot turn, but it is less likely.
