I'm still shocked that more people aren't picking up on Kansas' Trump protest vote? Trump only getting 75% there in a state (he won) that voted I think entirely after Haley dropped out seems pretty substantial??
Early voting for the Kansas primary election started on February 28, a full week before Haley dropped out. She was able to bank many votes during that week that contributed to the 16% she received. If you look at the "protest" vote, on the Dem side 10% of voters voted for "None of the names" and on the Rep side only 5% of voters voted for "None of the names". Voting for none is the definition of a protest vote. And percentage-wise, many more Dems did that than Reps. The only reason Trump didn't receive 80%+ is because Haley banked a lot of votes in the early voting period when she was still an active candidate.
Who's to say many of those Haley voters wouldn't have voted NOTA?
