Below are the reported vote totals from six battleground states in the November 2020 presidential election. The six states are Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.
Joe Biden has been declared the winner by state officials in all six, but President Donald Trump has contested those findings.
Vote totals were taken from state web sites on Sunday, December 13, 2020. An image of each state’s web site is below the vote totals.
But if certain states flipped to President Trump, he would likely win the election. If the three states of Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin flipped, then Trump and Biden would tie at 269 electoral votes, and the U.S. House of Representatives would choose the president. Each state’s delegation would get one vote, in accord with the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Each delegation can only vote for either Trump or Biden, and Trump would likely win, since Republicans currently hold majorities in 26 state delegations versus 24 for Democrats.
Any combination of 38 electoral votes or more from the six states would give Trump a majority of electors and win him the election outright.
Congress is not scheduled to certify the vote count until Wednesday, January 6, 2021. Inauguration Day is Wednesday, January 20, 2020.
Here are the results from the six battleground states:
[Editor’s Note: These figures from Wisconsin are from before a recount of two counties requested by (and paid for by) the Trump campaign. The recounts slightly extended Biden’s lead in those two counties, according to news reports, but the Wisconsin Secretary of State’s web site did not displays vote totals from the state taking into account the recounts as of Sunday, December 13, 2020.]
Note: Pennsylvania’s web site states that vote figures for the November 2020 presidential election do not include ballots received after 8 p.m. Tuesday, November 3 (which was election day) and before 5 p.m. Friday, November 6. Pennsylvania’s web site’s home landing page for 2020 election results does not (as of Sunday, December 13) include a figure for the total number of ballots cast. But it does include percentages for candidates.
