A majority of voters in New Hampshire wrote-in Bidenā€™s name on ballots where he did not appear officially

President Joe Biden won the New Hampshire Democratic primary, despite his name not appearing on the stateā€™s presidential primary ballot.

The Associated Press called the race for Mr Biden shortly after polls closed on Tuesday night, as a majority of voters wrote in the presidentā€™s name.

Mr Bidenā€™s campaign purposefully did not file the presidentā€™s name for the ballot within the deadline in an act of solidarity with the Democratic National Conventionā€™s (DNC) decision to make South Carolina the first state to hold a primary.

      Iā€™d have loved Bernie to be in the generalā€¦ ever, but it just isnā€™t what happened and pretending it was some conspiracy just isnā€™t healthy. The candidate youā€™re in love with doesnā€™t always resonate with everyone else, and thatā€™s okay.

      The DNC eliminated superdelegate voting for the first round of voting in the convention back in 2017. They would only have a chance to vote if no candidate reaches 50% in the first round, aka a contested convention.
