Nearly eighty-thousand Granite Staters made time to get up and go out on a cold Tuesday morning – thankfully not bitter cold like Iowa – to scribble the name Joe Biden on a line at the end of a list of more than twenty actual candidates on the New Hampshire ballot. And what did they get for that?
They got this!
A VERY confused Joe Biden starts absolutely SCREAMING as he recounts the recycled “suckers and losers” hoax — slurring the entire way.

That’s their guy—happy, unifying Joe Biden. But not everyone who decided to write in on the Dem ballot wrote Biden. I took a look at all the write-ins reported by the Secretary of State, and keep in mind that this is the Democrat party ballot.
4,752 wrote in Nikki Haley, 2,071 for Donald Trump, 40 for Christie, 33 for Ron DeSantis, 2 for Vivek, 440 for RFK Jr., and 123 for Bernie. Cease Fire was an Andru Volinsky Gaza thing, and the scatter is illegible or otherwise uncountable marks. Much of that will be the undeclared pulling a blue ballot, but we’ve likely got our share of conscientious objectors.
None of which is as interesting to me as the 79,460 “folks” who voted to keep Biden in the Oval Office. And it’s not like they don’t have better candidates to choose from in their party; they do. They could have filled in the oval on the paper ballot for Dean Phillips (24,373 votes), Vermin Supreme, or Mark Greenstein. There were twenty-one other choices, with at least one or two viable nationally.
Nope. They want elder abuse and Alzheimer’s. So there he is, Dems. That’s your president. I hope you’re proud.
