I just did some searching, apparently Minnesotan Democrats can vote uncommitted in our primary. I think I'll do that.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

It's going to be interesting to see how it spreads after Michigan.

[–] Atyno@dmv.social 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think the biggest lesson tonight is it'll be political malpractice if Biden doesn't pour a bunch of resources into NC. For a closed primary, those exit polls are suggesting a huge amount of Haley voters are persuadable.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It's funny, because my inclination would be "you're on crack", but if you look at the primary numbers:

Donald Trump - 73.9% - ⁦790,750 votes⁩
Nikki Haley - 23.3% - ⁦249,651 votes⁩
Joe Biden - 87.3% - ⁦606,302 votes⁩

184,448 votes separates Biden from Trump.

So if 73.88% of Haley voters defect, that could post a Biden win in NC.

Still seems like a high bar.

[–] Atyno@dmv.social 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I was reading exactly that actually: 81% of them refuse to vote for Trump if Haley isn't the nominee. It's surprisingly doable just from the primary numbers.

Edit: Also, Republicans nominated a literal Holocaust denier for the governor candidate. That's gonna make that race A LOT easier and maybe effect the entire ballot there.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Refusing to vote for Trump isn't the same as voting for Biden though. He has to convince them to flip, not just stay home.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Refusing to vote for Trump isn’t the same as voting for Biden though.

Neat how that's never the case when the two are reversed.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

"No Preference" got just over 88,000 votes, and I'd say the vast majority of those people will (grudgingly, perhaps) vote for Biden in the general, so that narrows it down to ~100,000 votes separating Biden from Trump. Half of Haley voters flipping would do it, which, given the circumstances, I don't think is unrealistic.

Also, I'm betting that turnout for the primary doesn't reflect the turnout in the general because I suspect Republicans had more incentive to show up for this primary - if 'uncommitted' wasn't an option in my state, I wouldn't have bothered to get out of bed for this primary, because there's no real race, and there's likely no power vacuum if Biden dies in his sleep tonight - Harris becomes president and the presumptive Democrat nominee. Haley is staying in because if Trump dies in his sleep tonight, the Republicans have a problem. Also, I suspect if you've drank the Trump Flavor Aid, you'd be pretty thrilled to vote for him whenever you're given the chance.

EDIT: Are there any actuaries on Lemmy that can give the exact odds for a guaranteed first elected female president of color in the US? (Assuming the Republicans go with Haley if Trump dies.)

[–] Trev625@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I voted in the (ugh) Republican primary in Alabama!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

You know, congratulations on voting!

Here's your sticker!

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

I had to take time off from work to vote today, because I lost track of time and didn't realize voting day was so close until a couple of days ago. Otherwise I would have voted by mail 2 weeks ago.

And my employer had to pay me for the time I took off to vote, because California is awesome woo

[–] shift_four@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

It's worth noting that the Vermont primary is open. There was a decent sized movement among Democrats to vote in the Republican primary against Trump instead of in the Democratic primary.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Good for you! We're a vote by mail state so I bought a whole roll of them to hand out. LOL.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Wow! Biden is sweeping! I should have bet money on him!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Uncommitted is not showing any legs yet.

Well, it's beating Dean Phillips in his home state, lol.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I voted for Orb Mom in California as a protest vote. I was debating on leaving it blank or voting for Marianne Williamson. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Just remember to vote for a candidate that counts in November! ;)

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Got my sticker last week during early voting.

The one for the general will be going next to the others on my laptop, but upside down.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

The uncommitted vote in Minnesota...
