President-elect Joe Biden's 2020 vote total shatters the 2008 record of 69.5 million votes cast for Barack Obama.

More votes were cast in the 2020 presidential election than in any other U.S.

President-elect Joe Biden has now earned 80 million votes, and ballots are still being counted.

Biden's total shatters the 2008 record of 69.5 million votes cast for Barack Obama.

Overall, more than 156 million Americans cast ballots in 2020, a number that will continue to climb in coming days as more results are reported.

The final vote total is likely to get to about 158 million.

That is more than 20 million higher than the 2016 record of 137 million votes cast.

In fact, in this election, Biden won the national popular vote by some 6 million votes so far, more than double Hillary Clinton's margin over Trump four years ago.
