Note:
Tennessee
uses districts, not counties, for elections. Thus, complete county data cannot be shown on this map.
Note: Texas uses both districts and counties for elections. Thus, complete county data cannot be shown on this map. The color-coding represented below displays Texas counties that are not part of a larger prosecutorial district. The unshaded areas represent district-based prosecutorial districts.
