The final polling station tally for the US elections is at: 306 projected electoral college votes for Democrat Joe Biden and 232 for Republican Donald Trump.

This is an exact change from the final vote in 2016, when Trump won 306 electoral votes and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton won 232.

As for the popular vote, Biden won 77.5 million votes (50.8%) compared to 72.3 million (47.4%) who voted for Trump, an advantage of 5 million votes.

The president-elect of the United States, Biden, today won the states of Arizona and Georgia, the New York Times, CNN, ABC and other networks said, while Trump won in North Carolina.

Biden’s victory in Arizona represents a ‘change’ from the state to Democrat for the first time since 1996, when Bill Clinton won state support for his candidacy for the White House.

The tight race in Arizona ended with an advantage of more than 11,000 votes for Biden, giving him the 11 electoral votes of the state.

Fox News and The Associated Press rated the race in the southwestern state in favor of Biden on election night, drawing the ire of President Donald Trump, but the other outlets did not declare a winner until after nine days of recount. of votes.

Despite Biden being declared the winner of the election on Saturday, when he surpassed that mark of 270, Trump has refused to budge and continues to make unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.
