    Number of Counties Won in Presidential Election Doesn't Determine
    Outcome

    Democrats tend to win in densely populated counties, while Republicans
    win more sparse, rural counties. In 2020, the counties won by
    President Joe Biden had 67 million more residents than counties won by
    former President Donald Trump. Yet a social media post falsely asserts
    that because Biden won with fewer counties than Trump, "something
    isn't adding up."

    For decades, Democratic presidential candidates have gotten more votes
    in densely populated, urban areas than Republicans, who have been
    favored in more sparsely populated, rural areas.
