Blackburn won the state, but carried only three of Tennessee's nine new congressional districts

All nine districts

How the state and the districts split

Blackburn's statewide lead was votes. She came out of Districts 1, 2 and 3 with a net gain of about , and District 1 in upper East Tennessee supplied most of it. That left a deficit of about votes spread across the other six districts.

The May map divided Davidson and Shelby counties among several districts, and it was drawn so that Republicans would be favored in all nine seats. Several of those leans were narrow. In the governor's race, Green finished ahead in five of the nine districts and ran even in a sixth.

The House races did not follow the top of the ticket. Republicans won eight of nine House seats, including the five districts where Green led Blackburn. In each of those five, Blackburn's and Hatley's votes together topped Green's.

How these numbers were built

There's no official tally of the governor's race by congressional district, so this one was put together from public returns.

• 83 of Tennessee's 95 counties sit wholly inside one district. Their county totals from the Secretary of State's unofficial returns count straight to that district.
• 12 counties are split by the new lines. Seven of them (Davidson, Shelby, Williamson, Rutherford, Montgomery, Fayette and Tipton) posted precinct-by-precinct results. Each precinct was placed in the district whose U.S. House race it voted on. Those precinct totals add up to the state's county totals.
• Some precincts straddle a district line and report as one unit. Their governor votes were divided using that precinct's own House vote in each district.
• Sumner, Maury, Jefferson, Campbell and Rhea have posted only countywide totals so far. Their split was estimated from the House vote in each piece of the county. Tested against the seven counties with precinct data, that method typically missed the margin by about 1.4 points.
• Each district card shows how far its Blackburn-Green gap could move under a deliberately generous error allowance. District 5 is the only district where the gap is smaller than that allowance, which is why it's marked a toss-up. Maury County's precinct results should settle it.
• Write-in votes are left out, as they are in the state's unofficial count. "Others" are the twelve other independent candidates.
