Weld at this point has 13.5%, that qualified for delegates!

Biden? 

Maybe one good thing that will come out of this is Democrats will recognize how idiotic open primaries are.

Biden? 

Except they can’t cause Republicans can’t vote in the Dem primary.

Sure they can. They are "independents", and since this is a president-only vote, they can as an independent vote in the Republican primary for all the other races on the NH ballot later in the year.

Lmao

Wasn't Rocky DLF on the democratic ballot last time around? I remember his name from the WV primaries where you always have nobodies pulling nice numbers

There's a Rocky De La Fuente III on the Democratic ballot and a Rocky De La Fuente Jr. on the Republican ballot.

The Rocky De La Fuente that founded the American Delta Party and ran in 2016 in a lot of states with either ballot access or write-in status is the Jr.

I can take the vote totals of Biden, Warren, Steyer, Gabbard, and Yang who will get 0 delegates and that's more votes combined than what the winner tonight will get.

NH Dem primary exit polls showed 2016 Dem primary vote was (Clinton 50%,Sanders 30%, Neither 18%).  I get the fact that Clinton ultimately winning the 2016 Dem nomination would bias these results but Sanders blew out Clinton in 2016 60-38. What happen to the Sanders 2016 NH base ?  It seems a bunch of them did not even bother coming out to vote in the Dem primary. 

You have a link to that?  Maybe those who voted Bernie in 2016 and were voting for someone else this time didn't want to admit they voted Bernie in 2016.  Very unlikely that they stayed home.

538 in their live blog last night showed the same thing.

They pointed out that in the "supported neither" category, Tulsi Gabbard performed relatively strong.

Always thought for states that allow it, serious presidential candidates should file for multiple parties' primaries. What better way to demonstrate real bipartisan support? Plus imagine the schadenfreude if say Trump actually qualified for a delegate in Milwaukee.
