306-232 with two very different outcomes.

If it were a presidential popular vote 50 pct plus one system after the 2000 fiasco, we would have probably been voting for a second term for Hillary this year.

And Trump only got an official 304 Electoral votes, he had two Faithless electors. One Texas Elector voted for John Kasich and another Texas Elector voted for Ron Paul.
Biden will top Trump with 306.
