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.

      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.

      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.
