A majority of voters in New Hampshire wrote-in Biden’s 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 state’s 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 president’s name.
Mr Biden’s campaign purposefully did not file the president’s name for the ballot within the deadline in an act of solidarity with the Democratic National Convention’s (DNC) decision to make South Carolina the first state to hold a primary.
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 didn’t have time to change the state law that dictated when their primary was. Not to even mention, state party leaders don’t make state law…
There was literally no way the NH state party could have complied with the DNC’s request to move their date…
Considering his past performances in NH, this is likely the only way he was ever going to win there.

Moderates just don’t do well there, which is the real reason they can’t 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 isn’t a big deal?
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
I’d have loved Bernie to be in the general… ever, but it just isn’t what happened and pretending it was some conspiracy just isn’t healthy. The candidate you’re in love with doesn’t always resonate with everyone else, and that’s okay.
