The question will be suspended on 4 November 2024 and the outcome determined using election results as reported by the Associated Press. If the outcome appears dependent on the disposition of legal disputes as to the validity of certain votes in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions, we will wait for the judicial outcomes of those disputes before resolving the question. An xlsx file with historical data from the US Federal Election Commission for previous US elections may be downloaded here, which may or may not be identical to data as reported by the Associated Press (FEC US Presidential Election Results 1984-2020).
