A majority of voters in New Hampshire wrote-in Bidenās name on ballots where he did not appear officially
President Joe Biden won the New Hampshire Democratic primary, despite his name not appearing on the stateās presidential primary ballot.
The Associated Press called the race for Mr Biden shortly after polls closed on Tuesday night, as a majority of voters wrote in the presidentās name.
Mr Bidenās campaign purposefully did not file the presidentās name for the ballot within the deadline in an act of solidarity with the Democratic National Conventionās (DNC) decision to make South Carolina the first state to hold a primary.

Sorry to pick on your comment, but I have a question about a statement everyone seems to assertā¦
Is he charismatic? No.
(As a disclaimer Iām out of touch with peopleās impressions on this)
I donāt understand this statement from everyone. Charismatic compared to what? Heās way more charismatic than most humans - heās a career politician who manages thousands of relationships. He snaps off solid one-liners to shut down trolls. He leaned into the Dark Brandon thing. If he spent effort seeming even more charismatic, Iād be more concerned about his fitness for the job.
Put another way, I see him as having the right balance of charisma for voters aged 35+.
What are people wishing we had instead of that, in a presidential candidate?

A cool guy that comments on forums and posts memes all the time, obviously
Multiple things are true at the same time. Heās better for humanity than his alternative, heās not a reality show fuckwit, but doing his job is not a positive as it almost entirely entails keeping everyone firmly under the boot of capitalism. Heās made improvements within the totally broken system and also done nothing to change the totally broken system.
I am in no way glad that heās our president but Iām glad itās him over the orange monster.
Cannot wait to throw this at some voter fraud asshatās face. āHoly shit youāre right! Look here. Biden won an election and he wasnāt even on the ballot! Talk about rigged!ā

Iād forgotten all about her. Iād like to do so again.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Associated Press called the race for Mr Biden shortly after polls closed on Tuesday night, as a majority of voters wrote in the presidentās name.
Mr Bidenās campaign purposefully did not file the presidentās name for the ballot within the deadline in an act of solidarity with the Democratic National Conventionās (DNC) decision to make South Carolina the first state to hold a primary.
The DNC said those who ran Tuesdayās primary would not be awarded delegates, prompting Mr Bidenās campaign to comply.
Mr Bidenās win is likely to reassure Democrats that the president still holds support from a majority of voters in the party.
Officials will likely spend the night counting write-in votes in the Granite State to determine the exact number Mr Biden received.
Now that New Hampshireās primary has finished, heads are turning to South Carolina, where Democrats will host a caucus.
The original article contains 367 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 60%. Iām a bot and Iām open source!
Silly political games
The DNC said those who ran Tuesdayās primary would not be awarded delegates, prompting Mr Bidenās campaign to comply.
Congrats to Biden for winning a primary in NH after it was announced the primary meant nothing and Dems in NH have no say in their candidate because their state party leaders didnāt have time to change the state law that dictated when their primary was. Not to even mention, state party leaders donāt make state lawā¦
There was literally no way the NH state party could have complied with the DNCās request to move their dateā¦
Considering his past performances in NH, this is likely the only way he was ever going to win there.

Moderates just donāt do well there, which is the real reason they canāt go first anymore and the DNC yanked their delegates this year.

People would be shitting bricks if the RNC did this to a state that always goes more liberal than the national party wants.
But the DNC doing it to a progressive state isnāt a big deal?
Considering his past performances in NH, this is likely the only way he was ever going to win there.
Against who?? Heās an incumbent president, of course he was going to win the primary. Of his 2020 opponents, Warren, Sanders and Klobuchar are on record being proud of what Biden has been able to accomplish legislatively, and all three are 100% behind him, and Buttigieg is working in his administration.
Moderates just donāt do well there
Isnāt the governor of New Hampshire a Republican? Iāve always considered New Hampshire to be a politically sane and somewhat moderate state
of course he was going to win the primary
Which makes all this bullshit so much more frustrating anywaysā¦
Biden was always going to win this primary, so what the fuck is the point of all these shenanigans?
Is it the same as when Biden loses his temper with journalists and voters who question him?
Do we really want a president willing to do this shit in a primary election heās all but guaranteed to win, and even if he loses, the party could still make him the candidate?
This shit isnāt rational behavior, and itās going to depress turnout in the general when he needs it.
Of his 2020 opponents, Warren, Sanders and Klobuchar are on record being proud of what Biden has been able to accomplish legislatively, and all three are 100% behind him,
Because progressives would always prefer a moderate to a Republicanā¦
But moderates donāt always prefer a progressive to a Republican.
Caring about the American people is a liability when youāre in a 3 way stand off with two people who have a week to live. They donāt care if they lose.
Edit:
Iāve always considered New Hampshire to be a politically sane and somewhat moderate state
They are saneā¦
Thatās why they voted for Bernie in the 2016 and 2020 primaryā¦
Which is why the DNC suddenly had a problem with them going firstā¦
Do we really want a president willing to do this shit in a primary election
This shit isnāt rational behavior
WTF are you talking about?! Can you say specifically what you think Biden did here?
Dnc is a scam look what happened to bernie popular vote is just for show super delegates can vote for whoever they want and they have a majority
Iād have loved Bernie to be in the generalā¦ ever, but it just isnāt what happened and pretending it was some conspiracy just isnāt healthy. The candidate youāre in love with doesnāt always resonate with everyone else, and thatās okay.
The DNC eliminated superdelegate voting for the first round of voting in the convention back in 2017. They would only have a chance to vote if no candidate reaches 50% in the first round, aka a contested convention.
