Inside the 'weird' write-in campaign needed to help Biden win New Hampshire
nbc ^ | 01/16/2024 | Alex Seitz-Wald

Last year, Biden tried to end New Hampshire’s 100-year reign as the nation’s first presidential primary state when he directed the Democratic National Committee to overhaul the 2024 primary calendar by putting South Carolina (which he won in 2020) ahead of New Hampshire (which he lost).

The Democratic National Committee, which essentially becomes the political arm of the White House when a Democrat is in occupancy, promptly ratified Biden’s wishes. Iowa went down easily since it was already on the chopping block...

But the Granite State refused to budge... triggered DNC rules prohibiting any presidential candidate from campaigning in any state with an unauthorized primary...

Democrats there stepped into the vacuum to help Biden...

Their main goal is simple: Make sure voters know how to write in Biden’s name on the ballot. "Start at the bottom of the ballot, fill in the oval for 'write-in,'" one digital ad instructs, "Then write 'Joe Biden' on the line."

The budget for the main write-in campaign is somewhere around $70,000... An affiliated super PAC would not disclose its budget. But a source familiar with the effort said it had raised roughly $500,000 by mid-December.

The leaders of the write-in effort all insist they have had no communication with the White House or the Biden campaign...

Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Jamie Raskin, D-Md., Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Govs. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois and Maura Healey of Massachusetts have pitched in to help the write-in campaign directly.

1. Robin Ware
2. J. R. B. Ware
3. Robert L. Peters
4. Joseph Biden
5. Joe Biden

All of these should count!

I hold doubt that bitme won the plurality of legal votes for any state period.

Imagine if they had to do this in a state other than NH, where they relied on their normal demographic of the literacy-impaired.

I am not sure anymore. Did he already make the switch? His party forced him out?

Around this time, 4 years ago, Biden was expected to drop out of the race. I think he came in 4th in Iowa and 5th in NH? Don’t know how he pulled off SC. Sheer charisma maybe.

There are twenty-one candidates on the ballot. I have heard of only Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson. If I were from NH , I would find Vermin Supreme and Paperboy Love Prince intriguing. If Biden wants my vote, he should dang well get on the ballot.

Phew! I'm glad Democrats in my state don't have that problem. Most of them couldn't spell 'pedophile' on their best day.

Of the Democrats Dean Phillips is about the best. At least he isn’t senile, or communing with aliens.
