This sometimes resulted in small differences in the number of votes cast for electors pledged to the same presidential candidate, if some voters did not vote for all the electors nominated by a party.^[4] This table compares the votes for the most popular elector pledged to each ticket, to give an approximate sense of the statewide result.
