## Sources
Election results where available by precinct except Ohio County from the Indiana Secretary of State Election Division (https://enr.indianavoters.in.gov/site/index.html). 
Election results for the following counties from county canvass reports as processed by OpenElections: Benton, Carroll, Clark, Clay, Daviess, Dubois, Fayette, Fountain, Hancock, Jackson, Jasper, Jay, Jennings, LaPorte, Lawrence, Marshall, Montgomery, Morgan, Newton, Noble, Orange, Owen, Parke, Pulaski, Randolph, Scott, Spencer, Steuben, St. Joseph, Switzerland, Tipton, Warren, Warrick. 
Election results for the following counties directly from county canvass reports: Cass, Crawford, Dearborn, Floyd, Fulton, Greene, Hendricks, Ohio, Perry, Ripley, Starke, Tippecanoe, Vanderburgh, Vigo, Washington.
The canvass report from Ohio County differs from the Secretary of State precinct results for 3 precincts: Cass 7, Randolph 5, and Randolph 6. Consequently, the statewide totals differ from the final results reported on the SoS website as follows: Trump (R) +338, Biden (D) +82, Jorgensen (L) -331 for President; Rainwater (L) -66 for Governor; Rokita (R) -14 for Attorney General.
Precinct shapefile primarily from the U.S. Census Bureau's Redistricting Data Program. However, many counties featured outdated or inaccurate precinct boundaries usually related to changes in corporate boundaries. The correct 2020 precinct boundaries were identified using GIS maps from each county. As appropriate, precinct boundaries for the following counties were replaced using shapefiles from the Indiana Secretary of State Election Division or from the respective counties. Where necessary, boundaries were further edited to align with 2020 corporate boundaries as determined via county parcel records.
Adams, Allen, Bartholomew, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Daviess, Dearborn, Decatur, Delaware, DeKalb, Elkhart, Fayette, Floyd, Fountain, Fulton, Grant, Greene, Hamilton, Huntington, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Kosciusko, Lake, LaPorte, Lawrence, Marion, Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, Perry, Porter, Posey, Rush, Scott, Shelby, Sullivan, Vanderburgh, Vermilion, Wayne, Wells.
