Consensus on infobox inclusion criteria for state subpages:
A consensus has been reached to include candidates in the infoboxes of state subpages who are polling at an average of at least 5% in a state or are the nominees of parties whose candidates received 5% in a state in the last election: Talk:2020 United States presidential election/Archive 12#Individual state pages. This consensus is an extension of the RfC that developed the same criteria for inclusion in the national infobox: Talk:2020 United States presidential election/Archive 12#Rfc on inclusion for the infobox.

Which vote totals to use for county/state results?

There seems to be a disconnect between various websites and the county-by-county data they're reporting for Ohio's 2020 results.

One user wants to use the results from "Dave's Atlas".

Another user wants to use the results from Ohio's official Secretary of State website.

These are not the same results... Which one should we use? Which is more reputable?

(Also, one quick thing I noted: "Dave's Atlas" has statewide results that don't even add up to 100%) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swatcow (talk • contribs) 22:38, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
