Biden wins New Hampshire primary through a write-in effort after declining to campaign there
Associated Press ^ | January 24, 2024 | Will Weissert

President Joe Biden won New Hampshire’s largely symbolic Democratic primary on Tuesday, prevailing in an unusual write-in effort after he refused to campaign or appear on the state ballot.

Biden easily bested two longshot challengers, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and self-help author Marianne Williamson, who were on the ballot along with a host of little-known names. His victory in a race he was not formally contesting essentially cements the president’s grasp on the Democratic nomination for a second term.

The New Hampshire race will likely not count toward amassing delegates for the presidential nomination after Democrats in the state bucked a Biden-championed revamp of the primary calendar that placed South Carolina at the fore of the Democratic race for the White House. …

The problem with your analysis is the completely delusional thought that Trump was ever going to win NH in the general, something even Trump supporters like myself do not expect.

NH has not gone red since 1992. NH was only about the primaries. Why are you being such a concern troll for a state no one expects to win?

Now having written that you literally just showed Trump could be possible in NH for the general, that is not bad like you wish it was, that is actually good news. What should be impossible for Trump is now only difficult in your own words!

I wonder how many Dems wrote in Trump.

Without an audit, we’ll never know, will we.

They sent a robo call out telling the democrats not to vote, and then orchestrated a write in campaign that got counted in a few hours. fishy.

Didn’t a Republican meme writer go to jail for Election fraud for something similar.

He wrote a meme telling Democrats to vote by text message.

From the DOJ website.

Social Media Influencer Douglass Mackey Sentenced after Conviction for Election Interference in 2016 Presidential Race

Defendant Attempted to Trick Voters Into Believing They Could Vote By Text Message

It was of course a an obvious gag.

Anyone stupid enough to be fooled by such a meme shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

Chances that the person that sent out the robocalls will never face prosecution by the DOJ.

Did they find a way to keep RFK Jr. off the ballot?

Go to MSN.com and read the comments under the articles, that’s the lair of the Biden worshippers. It’s absolutely pathetic what they say “Joe Biden is the greatest President of my life time” “Joe Biden will save our Democracy”

"Joe Biden will make sure I can kill my unborn baby"

Well, that's what they're saying on the inside.

If he wasn’t on the ballot just what did these ‘voters’ write in? Joe Biden? Joseph Biden? Joseph R. Biden? Joseph Robinette Biden? I’m serious. What exactly had to be scrawled to be legal/binding/counted.

All of the following were accepted as write-in votes for Sleepy Joe

Since Biden has been President for the last three years, Joe Biden will be saving our democracy from Joe Biden.

Nailed it!

You notice they didn't publish any actual vote totals. Why do you suppose that is?

I helped count votes at 7pm last night in my small town in NH.
There were very few mail in ballots. You can tell them when you are going through the stacks. Mails in are folded with two creases. These were ALL ABSENTEE BALLOTS. Requested ahead of time and arrived ahead of time.

There were over 800 people that voted. I went through about 1/3 of the Republican ballots. Basically sorting them for WRITE INs on the very bottom. Someone usually writes in Mickey Mouse and something else silly.
The result the Moderator showed me of the tabulator was Trump 385, Haley 427, Ron 9, Vivek 3, Christie 1, Burgum 1

The Dem were a lot more complicated because the machine tabulator can NOT read the write in. It kicks it into another part of the box. So three people had to read the ballots and determine who they were voting for. All but one write in was for Biden.

The Moderator prints four copies of the tabulator read out. One for the Dem party, One for the Rep party. One for the Secretary of State. One for their own records. Then the ballots are put into boxes and sealed. In case there are any
races that they are required to do another machine or hand count.

This is the second time I have partaken in my small towns counting of the ballots. I knew right away after looking for write in on the Republican ballots that Haley had done better than average in my town. Which she ended up winning.
It is an interesting process to go through. I would suggest that all of us that are concerned about the safety of our vote get involved in your local town vote counting. The people doing it are always thankful for volunteers, even if you are the political polar opposite.

FYI, I also stood outside in front of my local polling place for about 4 hours. We had about six people who took turns holding the Trump signs. We also had a sign up sheet. We got four pages of names, addresses and email addresses from people in our town to sign up for our Republican committee. It did not exist until me and two others started it last year.

The 2020 race in New Hampshire was not close for Republicans. Trump lost the state by around 8%, not that I believe the vote totals. I am sure there was massive mail-in voter fraud there too. In 2016 the state was evenly divided, somehow in 4 years Biden outperform Hilary by over 35% head to head democrats.

Magically Democrats got 80,000 more voters in a small state. If anyone believes that I have a very nice bridge in Brooklyn for sale, cheap.

He did not campaign there to allow Democrats to vote for Haley.


The dems decided that Iowa and NH were ‘too white’ to be important so they mandated that ‘diverse’ SC be the first state that could hold a primary. Unlike the white dems in Iowa, the white dems in NH refused to postpone their primary, so the national party declared that no dem candidate could appear on the NH ballot.

These rules were put in place at Biden’s (or more likely his ‘handlers’’) direction so FJB couldn’t be on the ballot or campaign in NH. But then the dems realized that it wouldn’t look good if some nobodies won the NH primary so they hurriedly did a write-in campaign for Brandon.

4%

4% of New Hampshire residents voted for Biden. Now that is some enthusiasm.

With over a million registered voters, that’s about 5% or so of eligible voters. Pathetic support.

Notice not one media outlet was asking Dems why their party leader dissed their primary?
