Consensus on infobox inclusion criteria for state subpages:
A consensus has been reached to include candidates in the infoboxes of state subpages who are polling at an average of at least 5% in a state or are the nominees of parties whose candidates received 5% in a state in the last election: Talk:2020 United States presidential election/Archive 12#Individual state pages. This consensus is an extension of the RfC that developed the same criteria for inclusion in the national infobox: Talk:2020 United States presidential election/Archive 12#Rfc on inclusion for the infobox.

“Federal precinct”?[edit]

What on earth is that? “Federal precinct”? I have found no sources claiming that such a thing exists in the state, and the sources provided on here do not offer any evidence for it either. Is this just an elaborate prank?

Regardless, seeing as the sources provided on this page do not include any data for a “federal precinct” in Rhode Island—including the specific source that was used for the results tables—I’m going to go ahead and delete that row from the results tables.
