Massachusetts has 11 electoral votes in the Electoral College.[4]Biden easily carried Massachusetts with a 33-point margin, the largest margin whereby any nominee had carried the state since Lyndon B. Johnson’s 1964 landslide. Massachusetts was one of three states where Biden won every county, the other two being Rhode Island and Hawaii.Massachusetts voted 29% more Democratic than the national average.Table of ContentsPrimary elections[edit]Democratic primary[edit]Republican primary[edit]Libertarian primary[edit]Green primary[edit]General election[edit]Predictions[edit]Polling[edit]Graphical summary[edit]Results[edit]By county[edit]By congressional district[edit]Analysis[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]External links[edit]Primary elections[edit]Presidential preference primaries were scheduled for March 3, 2020, for each of the political parties with state ballot access.Democratic primary[edit]Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden were among the declared major Democratic candidates.

This remained true in 2020, with Massachusetts being one of six states (along with Hawaii, Vermont, Maryland, California, and New York) to give Biden over 60% of the vote. Massachusetts is ethnically diverse, highly urbanized, highly educated, and among the least religious states. Per exit polls by the Associated Press, Biden’s strength in Massachusetts came from college-educated voters, which he won with 74% of the vote, which carries particular weight in Massachusetts, as the state contains the highest proportion of graduates in the country.[33] Trump’s slip among suburban white voters led Biden to carry almost every municipality in the Greater Boston area by at least 60% or more, while Trump carried only several towns on the South Shore and in Central Massachusetts. Biden won 301 of the 351 municipalities.[34] Biden swept all demographic groups, garnering 63% of whites, 84% of Latinos, 58% of Catholics, 56% of Protestants, and 86% of Jewish voters. Additionally, Biden won 52% of whites without a college degree within the state, one of Trump’s strongest demographics elsewhere in the country.[33] While Biden overwhelmingly carried Latino voters in the state, Trump improved on his 2016 performance in heavily Hispanic cities such as Lawrence, Chelsea, and Holyoke.[35] Trump had the worst vote share in Massachusetts of any Republican nominee since Bob Dole in 1996, and slightly underperformed George W. Bush’s 32.5% vote share in 2000.Massachusetts was one of five states in the nation in which Biden’s victory margin was larger than 1 million raw votes, the others being California, Maryland, New York and Illinois.See also[edit]^ a b c Candidate withdrew after early voting started, but before the date of the election.^ Excluding write-ins, which were not tallied.^ Calculated by taking the difference of 100% and all other candidates combined.^ a b c Key:A \u2013 all adultsRV \u2013 registered votersLV \u2013 likely votersV \u2013 unclear^ “Some other candidate” with 5%; “Refused” with 3%; would not vote with no voters^ “Other” with 3%; would not vote with 0%^ “Another candidate” with 2%; “Refused” with 3%^ “Some other candidate” with 7%; would not vote with 3%^ Including voters who lean towards a given candidate^ “Another candidate” with 7%References[edit]^ “MA SOC Voter Turnout Statistics”.^ “Massachusetts Election Results 2020”.
