In both the 20 elections, Trump lost the popular vote. Biden is the first Democrat to flip Georgia since President Bill Clinton in 1992 and the first to win in Arizona since 1996. To win, Biden flipped Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, and Nebraska's 1st Congressional District. Trump's chance for reelection in 2020 was soured by Biden, who amassed an inverse of 2016's original electoral college results and won 306 votes to Trump's 232. The final count, however, is different as Trump lost two votes and Clinton lost five due to faithless electors, bringing the end total to 304 electoral votes for Trump and 227 for Clinton.
The original electoral count after the 2016 election was 306 votes for Trump and 232 for Clinton.

That math is settled Trump holds an insurmountable lead in swing states, which turned his popular defeat into a sizable electoral victory. While these uncounted votes may grow Clinton’s popular lead, they absolutely will not change the course of the election. However, all ballots, including absentee ballots, are counted in the final totals for every election, and every vote (absentee or in-person) counts the same.īut as satisfying (or disappointing) as it may be to Hillary Clinton supporters to see that more Americans voted for her than for any other candidate - including Donald Trump - that fact won't change the outcome in any way: In a close election, the media may report that the outcome cannot be announced until after the absentee ballots are counted. The media often will report the projected outcome of the election before all of the ballots are counted. All ballots submitted according to State laws are counted in every election.
Many absentee ballots are cast by voters who are unable to vote at their physical polling place due to being an active duty military member, a family member of someone on active duty or a U.S. Likewise, the web site of the Federal Voting Assistance Program ( FVAP) states: As absentee voting becomes more popular, however, an increasing number of elections are decided by absentee ballots. Many elections have a clear winner, so the absentee ballots that are still being counted after election night don't affect the results as predicted right after the polls close. This misconception stems from two things: one, absentee ballots are often counted for days after the election since many are coming from abroad two, absentee ballots are often a small percentage of all voted ballots. It is a common misconception that absentee ballots are only counted during very tight races. Yes, all votes are counted, whether they're cast in-person or by absentee ballot.

A spreadsheet compiled by David Wasserman, an editor at Cook Political Report who is tracking turnout, shows a similar trend, and as the Atlantic noted on 12 November 2016, the bulk of remaining uncounted ballots come from states that went heavily for the Democratic candidate: Moreover, the popular vote margin favoring Hillary Clinton is likely to grow rather than shrink as more of the remaining ballots are counted.
