75 counties, each filled by 2008 D-vs-R margin. Hover any county for its result.
Arkansas Republicans did not nominate a candidate in 2008. Rebekah Kennedy ran as an Independent and was the principal challenger to Mark L. Pryor (D). The county map below is the actual Mark L. Pryor–Rebekah Kennedy contest: Independent-won counties are gold, and major-party-won counties use the true candidate-to-candidate margin. The D–R presidential-baseline comparison is withheld because that axis does not describe this contest.

Source. MIT Election Data + Science Lab — 2008 US Senate returns, party-classified by literal ballot party · county returns aggregated from precinct-level results. Arkansas had no Republican nominee in this contest; the county view is therefore keyed to the actual major-party-versus-Independent matchup rather than a D–R axis. Real returns — nothing estimated.
