n/r: the state does not report that category. Ballots cast is mail ballots returned plus in-person early votes. Mail requested is not comparable between states: where every voter is mailed a ballot (California, Colorado and Utah among them) it is close to every registered voter, not a count of requests. Lean is the points by which one party’s registrants hold more of the ballots whose voter’s party is known; it is shown only where the state reports party, and registration is not how anyone voted. No counts yet from Alabama, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire.

What this does and does not show

These are counts of ballots, from the states’ own early-vote reports. A ballot’s party is the party its voter registered with, and many states do not report it. Nothing here says how anyone voted: registered Democrats and Republicans cross party lines, and unaffiliated voters decide many races. The counts are not a forecast, and the site does not estimate who will win from them.

Mail ballots returned have not all been counted yet, and in-person early votes are counted with the rest on election night. Some states publish only part of what other states do (mail ballots but no in-person votes, or the reverse), so a state’s total can be a floor. A category a state does not collect is shown as n/r, not as zero.
