NOTES: Two Michigan counties were won by “uncommitted”; Obama was not on the ballot in that state. Kansas votes are shown by state senate district rather than county. Alaska, North Dakota and Puerto Rico do not report votes by county. Nebraska, Texas and Washington held both primaries and caucuses; the maps show primary election results. Vote totals are from uselectionatlas.org, CNN and state Democratic parties.
