Our streamlined democracy, Their sham election the-podcast

That's one way to avoid uncommitted getting more delegates

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i think some of them were called off before the uncommitted thing

I know just still funny/sad seeing they actually cancelled some

It was really only Michigan where that was successful unfortunately, Georgia only hit like 3% left blank.

I mean wasn't minnesota like 20%? enough to win delegates, which is embarassing enough on its own

Only some states have it as an option right?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Correct so other states had varying methods, like in GA all you can do is leave it blank so it had to be inferred by the difference between total votes cast and votes cast for specific candidates.

The Florida Democrats folks: The permanent opposition party for 25 years in a so-called swing state. A party that is so inept at winning their own primaries that they have to get Republicans like Charlie Crist to do it for them.

AMERICA EXCLUDES PRESIDENTIAL OPPONENTS FROM BALLOT

I mean this very analogous to Russia excluding presidential opposition on their ballots. They even did it on a similar bureaucratic technicality.

So are uncommitted votes not being counted in every state?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

only 5-10 have that option and actually count them iirc. there's a wide variety of inbetweens too tho

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

I think only some states have "uncommitted" on the ballot

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Texas didn't have it. Just left the line blank on my ballot (what's called a "spoiled ballot"). So you can see these records show up in the under count.

0 votes 224 delegates.
