I'm talking just the white house.I'm obviously more familiar with Canadian government departments than American ones, but I'd be surprised if many people beyond the secretaries are actually being replaced when a new leader comes in. If departments were being wholesale gutted, the country would never be in a functional state.
The GSA administrator officially determines the "apparent winner" of a presidential election. If it is not the incumbent president, the winner can access federal agencies and transition funds.[16] The GSA administrator’s declaration releases about $9.9 million in transition funds for salary, support, and computer systems; allow transition officials to establish government email addresses and receive federal office space; and allow the transition team to start work with the Office of Government Ethics on required financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest forms for incoming nominees.

I cant find an easy body count, but it was enough that I remember the news stories about how Trump and crew thought the whitehouse workers all stayed on. And of course, they were all Obama workers with Trump leading the birther charge, so many wouldn't have even if asked.This phase of the process lasts between 72 and 78 days, ending on the inauguration day. During this time, the transition team must handle the influx of campaign staff and additional personnel into daily operations and prepare to take over the functions of government.
Then we couldn't stop people from canvassing mail in ballots until after the polls close artificially delaying election counts!That said, I also can't help but wonder if states, and officials would have been a little more diligent with their handling of ballots/election day if they knew the new president needed to be in office on November 25th, instead of sometime in January. And that it would be a big problem to still be counting ballots a week after the election was over.
It says in there that the Clinton to Bush transition was done in a month because of the Florida recount that went until December 13th.I'm talking just the white house.

It's kind of stupid that they're employees of the president and not employees of the federal government/White House. Granted the whole staffed mansion is kind of weird to me too.I cant find an easy body count, but it was enough that I remember the news stories about how Trump and crew thought the whitehouse workers all stayed on. And of course, they were all Obama workers with Trump leading the birther charge, so many wouldn't have even if asked.
