Narrow margins that could have swung victory to Trump in 2020
The 2020 U.S. presidential election may have been decided by a 7 million vote margin in favour of Joe Biden, but his victory ultimately depended on razor-thin results in several key states.
A map analysis reveals that had Donald Trump won Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin - where the total margin was just 42,918 votes - the Electoral College would have been tied at 269-269.
In such a scenario, the election would likely have been decided by state delegations in Congress, potentially leading to Trump’s re-election.
Crucially, removing one county from each state - Apache in Arizona, Dougherty in Georgia, and Dane in Wisconsin - would have shifted the results in Trump's favour. This highlights how close the race was and how crucial these states and counties were.
