Note that the tabulation (but not the winner) may differ from the official count. You can read more about why this is.
Pairwise Preferences
For every pair of candidates, this table shows the fraction of voters who preferred one to the other. A preference means that either a voter ranks a candidate ahead of the other, or ranks one candidate but does not list the other. Ballots which rank neither candidate are not counted towards the percent counts.
