United States presidential election, 2020 (Holland Version)

Results
The election was held on November 3, 2020. Holland was reelected in a popular and electoral vote landslide, winning over 66% of the popular vote, the highest percentage since the popular vote first become widespread in 1824. Only Mississippi voted for the challenger, resulting in an even more lopsided Electoral College tally. Dickenson received just seven electoral votes, the lowest ever won by an American presidential candidate. It was lower than Walter Mondale (1984), Alf Landon (1936), or President William H. Taft (1912); Landon and Taft had won just eight electoral votes in their own presidential bids.



The 2020 election marked a significant milestone for the Democratic Party in the electoral sense. With this victory, Holland became the first Democrat to win the states of Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho since Lyndon Johnson in 1964, and only the second Democrat, following Jimmy Carter, to carry Alabama in an uncontested fashion since Adlai E. Stevenson had done so in 1956. Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, and Alabama were five of the eight states (along with Mississippi, South Dakota, and Indiana), that Bill Clinton had failed to carry in his re-election of 1996.

Of the 3,144 counties, parishes, and independent cities making returns, Holland won in 2,666 (84.80%) while Dickenson carried 478 (15.20%).

The Holland landslide defeated many conservative Republican congressmen, giving him a majority that could enact a more progressive policy agenda.

This is the last election before the admission of Puerto Rico into the Union.

The Holland campaign broke two American election records, previously held by Ronald Reagan and Lyndon Johnson: the highest absolute number of Electoral College votes ever won by a major-party candidate running for the White House (with 531 to the 525 won by Reagan in 1984) and the largest share of the popular vote under the current Democratic/Republican competition (Johnson won 61.1% nationwide, Holland 66.1%). Holland also won the highest percentage of the Electoral College on record (98.69%), surpassing Roosevelt's record (98.49%) from 1936. Holland retains the highest percentage of both the popular and electoral vote as of the 2028 election.
