County returns from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab (official state data), 2000–2024. Margin is the Democrat's share minus the Republican's, of all votes cast. In 2004 (96%) and 2012 (94%) the county figures add up to a different total from the certified statewide count (shown as a share of it) — New York's count the Democratic and Republican ballot lines only, not the minor-party lines that also nominated them.

Margin is the Democrat's share minus the Republican's, in percentage points; Nation is the same for the national popular vote. "Other" is everyone else combined, or the leading third-party candidate where one took 5% or more. Vote counts from 1976. Turnout is ballots cast as a share of eligible voters, from 1980 (UF Election Lab; the newest year is preliminary).
