More than 66,000 Alexandria voters cast their ballots by mail in the 2020 election, which was conducted amid the coronavirus pandemic. That election was a Democratic blowout in Alexandria, with President Joe Biden receiving 66,240 votes to former President Donald Trump getting 14,544 votes. Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th) also won in all of Alexandria’s precincts in that election.
