Nominating contests
Pennsylvania · which candidate this place backed in each party’s presidential nominating contest, cycle by cycle. A primary is a contest inside one party, so it has no Democratic–Republican margin and is not part of the general-election record above.
Akashic reports votes cast, not delegates awarded. The two can disagree: Clinton led the 2008 national primary popular vote by less than half a point and did not win the nomination.
| Party | 2008 | 2012 | 2016 | 2020 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Democratic | Clinton+9.12,341,384 votesprimary | no contest record | Clinton+12.11,681,427 votesprimary | Biden+59.71,635,110 votesprimary | no contest record |
| Republicannot ingested | no contest record | no contest record | no contest record | no contest record | no contest record |
no contest record — Akashic holds no result for that party and cycle here. It is not a claim that no contest was held. Telling apart a contest that was cancelled, one that went uncontested, and one simply not yet ingested needs a nominating-contest calendar, which is a separate ingest from results and does not exist yet.
Republican presidential primaries are not yet ingested — the Republican series runs from 1856 and is in scope. The row is kept so its absence is visible: a Democratic-only panel would otherwise read as though no one else held a contest.
Akashic carries 10 states for 2012 and 3 states for 2024. Cycles in which an incumbent president seeks renomination are thin by nature — few states run a contested primary — so a sparse column is politics, not a hole in the record.
2020 field
1,635,110 votes cast across 67 counties reporting. The universe is the party's primary electorate, not everyone who lives here, so this is not comparable to a general-election turnout without that in mind.
- Biden✓1,264,62577.3%
- Sanders287,83417.6%
- Gabbard43,0502.6%
- All others39,6012.4%
“All others” is a residual bucket, not a candidate: it holds every name past the ones listed, including candidates who had already withdrawn but still drew votes. Shares are of the 67 counties reporting, and describe the contest as a whole — not any one county inside it.

2020Democratic primary leaderBidencolor = leader · depth = size of the lead
Every county with reported returns, filled by the candidate who led it — the most recent cycle Akashic carries here. Depth is the size of the lead, not a party margin; the surrounding faint geography is context, not coverage.
A county's fill says who led it and by how much. It does not say how the rest of the field did there — those shares are published statewide only.
