Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
As the article said, primary voters don't have to declare their choice until they're actually at the polls. (And as a sometime elections worker, you'd be surprised how many voters don't even know they have to pick one party or the other in the primary.)
Every cycle, there's a lot of second-guessing wondering how many voters deliberately messed with the results. But since there's no Central Office of Electoral Mischief, there's no grand strategy involved, just individual Bubbas thinking they're the cleverest guy ever, voting for whom they perceive as the weakest candidate for their guy to run against. And meanwhile the Bubba next door does the same thing but decides that someone else will be the weakest candidate. So I believe that for the most part the results cancel themselves out and don't affect the totals all that much.
Mostly, I worry about the members of my own party who are barking mad.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
