Washington After the November 3 election in the US, counting of ballots is now in the final stage. According to the information that is coming, Democrat Joe Biden has become the first candidate in American history to get the most votes. Biden has received more than 80 million votes, or more than 80 million, while counting is still in progress. According to the American media, so far in history, no such large number of votes have been received.
Biden received a total of 51 percent of the vote.
Biden and his fellow elected Vice-President Biden have broken all history in the election. So far Joe Biden has received 80,026,721 votes while Donald Trump received 73,890,295 votes as of Wednesday morning. While Biden received 51 percent of the total votes, Trump received 47.1 percent of the vote. If you talk about electoral college, Biden has so far received 306 votes while Trump has got only 232 votes. Any candidate needs 270 out of 538 electoral votes to win. The total votes of both candidates have broken all previous records. In 2008, when Biden’s fellow former President Barack Obama contested, he received a little over 69.5 million votes.
Voting took place after 100 years
According to the Knight States Election Project (USEP), more than 159 million voters have voted this year. This figure is 20 million more than in 2016. Not only this, so much voter turnout was not seen for the last 100 years. When elections were held in America in the year 1900, at that time only such a large number of voters had exercised their franchise. USEP estimates that 66.7 percent of eligible voters voted this year. This record is made at a time when the country is battling the corona virus epidemic. 259,000 people have died due to this epidemic in the country. People have either cast their votes via mail or exercised their franchise in early voting.
