2016 Republican Presidential Primary Results by County

Map created by Ali Zifan, JCRules, Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs), & Nizolan at Wikimedia

The map above shows the country level results of the 2016 Republican Presidential primaries. Dark blue for Trump, gold for Cruz, red for Rubio, turquoise for Kasich and light-blue for Carson.

Candidates needed 1,237 delegates to win.

The total delegate count for each candidate was:

  • Donald Trump: 1,441 (44.9% of vote)
  • Ted Cruz: 551 (25.1% of vote)
  • Marco Rubio: 173 (11.3% of vote)
  • John Kasich: 161 (13.8% of vote)
  • Ben Carson: 9 (2.75% of vote)
  • Jeb Bush: 4 (0.92% of vote)
  • Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina: 1 each

In case you’re wondering the sole county to go for Ben Carson was the Kusilvak Census Area in Alaska.

This just goes to show how improbable Trump’s victory was. In neither the primaries or the general election was he able to secure a majority of vote, yet he still became president.

For more on that please see the following books:

  • Devil’s Bargain: Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and the Nationalist Uprising
