California Votes: The Big Election of 2020!

Imagine a giant playground, that's kind of like California! In 2020, everyone in this big state got to help choose the next President of the United States. It was like picking the captain for a huge team!

Two main people were running: Joe Biden and Donald Trump. California has so many people, it gets to pick lots of helpers, called electors, to vote in the Electoral College. It's like having the most votes in a class election!

When all the votes were counted, Joe Biden got the most votes in California! He won by a lot, like winning a race by a mile. More people voted for him than for Donald Trump. California is known for having lots of people who like the Democratic party, so it was expected that Biden would win here. It was a super exciting day for many Californians!

Guess what? Joe Biden got over 11 million votes in California! That's more than the number of people living in some whole countries! He was the first person ever to get that many votes in just one state. Donald Trump also got a lot of votes, more than any other Republican ever had in California before. It shows how many people cared about this election!

California is like a superstar in presidential elections because it has the most electoral votes. That means its choices can really help decide who becomes president. Even though Biden won California easily, it was interesting that Trump got more votes this time than he did four years earlier in some places. This election showed how important every vote is!
