The tooltip says whether a county clears both cut points, a Democratic share of {fact:vote_hi} or more with a donor lean of {fact:lean_cut} or more, or a share below {fact:vote_lo} with a lean below minus {fact:lean_cut}; {fact:n_clear} counties do, and they cast {fact:share_clear_votes} of the two-party votes.",
