Electoral votes are the presidential votes actually recorded in the National Archives count, including split and faithless votes. The map uses modern state outlines as a geographic reference; these are not historical boundaries.

Minor popular-vote candidates not separately tabulated by the source are grouped as other recorded votes. Historical popular-vote figures and definitions can vary between compilations.

The counted electoral tally was Donald Trump 304, Hillary Clinton 227, and seven votes for other recipients. It differs from the pledged 306–232 allocation. Maine split its votes and Hawaii, Texas and Washington recorded faithless votes.

Popular-vote counts use the FEC compilation; electoral votes use the actual National Archives count. Source totals may differ from other historical series or earlier published updates.
