Maps

The maps seem to be incorrectly formatted or something, as the legend and the maps don’t match up. BrokenSquarePiece ^{(complete me)} 23:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes; the legends are for the preelection maps. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:53, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change “Trump was shot at” to “Trump was shot” Travis Morger (talk) 03:01, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This would be inaccurate as he was hit by a bullet. 99.10.110.201 (talk) 03:21, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AP hasn't called it (and I don't think it's gonna be long until they do). When they do, it will be changed. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 08:50, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IT'S CALLED! AP HAS CALLED IT!

I believe his name is Tim Walz, not Tim Waltz. Please change | president_map_caption = Presidential election results map. Blue denotes states won by Harris/Waltz, red denotes those won by Trump/Vance, and gray denotes those yet to be called. Numbers indicate electoral votes cast by each state and the District of Columbia. to | president_map_caption = Presidential election results map. Blue denotes states won by Harris/Walz, red denotes those won by Trump/Vance, and gray denotes those yet to be called. Numbers indicate electoral votes cast by each state and the District of Columbia. LennnyLo (talk) 12:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already done Text search didn't find any matches for "Waltz", so I'm presuming that the error was in a previous version of the page. Liu1126 (talk) 00:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Electoral College has not convened yet. The wording at 2024_United_States_presidential_election.207.96.32.81 (talk) 13:09, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've used the text Numbers indicate allotted electoral votes. as that seemed to be the consensus for the 2020 election during the equivalent period. Thanks! Skynxnex (talk) 22:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Domestic Election Interference

Someone has inserted references to domestic groups interfering in US elections. What they mean by this is that US citizens are donating money to AIPAC. This is pretty beyond the pale. The idea that you can characterize US citizens donating money to an American political group as "election interference" because those citizens have donated money to a cause that OP does not personally support is a pretty flagrant violation of WP:NPOV.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 04:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photo caption in 'Indictments' section

The caption for this must be updated to insert 'Alleged' before '[c]lassified' as the case brought was dismissed [1]https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648652/gov.uscourts.flsd.648652.672.0_2.pdf (So ordered on the final page, page 93). Complicating the matter is that the documents themselves were mishandled as per prosecutions' admission [2]https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653.522.0.pdf (See B-4 on page 8, footnote 3)

Updated caption proposed:

Underlying Data?

Is there a way I can see/download the underlying data used to make the maps? I'm interested in vote totals by state by candidate for presidental election years.
