Virginia County Acknowledges Underreporting Biden's 2020 Election Victory Margin

Errors in vote counts did not affect the outcome of any race and were likely due to human error and a difficult election environment.

  • Prince William County in Virginia has admitted to underreporting President Joe Biden’s margin of victory over Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election by about 4,000 votes.
  • The county mistakenly shorted Biden by 1,648 votes, and overreported Trump’s count by 2,327 votes.
  • Counts were also off in races for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, though by lesser margins.
  • The errors did not come close to affecting the outcome of any race and did not consistently favor one party or candidate.
  • The errors were likely due to a lack of proper planning, a difficult election environment, and human error.
