State and national results
AP’s Vote Count starts at the top of the ticket, covering races for president, governor, Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. It then goes down the ballot, as we tabulate results for ever seat in every state legislature, every statewide ballot measure and the local races that matter most to your audience. With the Vote Count comes AP’s race calls, a declaration of who has won in every race we tabulate.
