Indiana Votes: The Big 2020 Election Race!

Imagine a giant playground where everyone gets to choose who leads the country! That's kind of what happened in Indiana on November 3, 2020. People voted for President.

The two main choices were Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Indiana is a state in the United States, and it has 11 special votes called electoral votes that help decide who becomes president. It was a day filled with excitement and lots of people casting their ballots!

One of the candidates, Donald Trump, had his Vice President, Mike Pence, running with him. Guess what? Mike Pence used to be the Governor of Indiana!

That means he knew the state very well. The other candidate was Joe Biden, who had Kamala Harris as his running mate. They wanted to win over the voters in Indiana.

It was like a big team competition, with each team trying to get the most votes from the people in Indiana.

When all the votes were counted, Donald Trump won the election in Indiana! He got more votes than Joe Biden. It was like winning the most points in a game.

But something super interesting happened in a place called Vigo County. This county usually votes for the winner, but in 2020, it voted for Joe Biden, even though Trump won the whole state! That was a big surprise, like a plot twist in a story!

Another surprising thing was Tippecanoe County. It's home to a big university called Purdue. This county usually votes for the Republican candidate, but in 2020, it voted for Joe Biden!

This hadn't happened in a very, very long time. It shows that even in places that usually pick one team, people can change their minds. Elections are always full of surprises, and Indiana had some big ones in 2020!
