How McLean Precincts Voted In 2020 Presidential Election
A large share of votes came in through absentee voting. But on Election Day, Trump received more votes at numerous precincts.
MCLEAN, VA — Voters chose former Vice President Joe Biden through absentee voting, but results at McLean precincts were mixed, according to preliminary election results.
As of Wednesday evening, a winner has not been determined in the presidential race as votes continue to be counted in key states. But less than an hour after polls closed on Tuesday night, the Associated Press called Virginia for Biden.
Results on the statewide, locality and precinct levels are available on the Virginia Department of Elections results site. Absentee ballots in Fairfax County are counted in central absentee precincts based on congressional district — 8th, 10th and 11th. Parts of McLean are in the 8th and 10th congressional districts.
