Clearly describe the solution you'd like

I would love if the top of the summary for each state had a less-unreadable representation of the total vote count: So far I've explained to two people that "leads with N votes, trails with M votes" means the total amount of votes they received, not the amount they're ahead/behind.

The batch breakdown has a nice percentage plot, it would be neat if each state's header had something like this too. I've mocked something up here:

(corrected to represent ... more correct percentages)

We've added percentages to the header now. Thanks for the suggestion!
