The Iowa Democratic Party reported unofficial results of our mail-in caucus. Joe Biden won with 11,083 votes out of 12,193 tallied (91 percent). Since no other candidate got 15 percent of the vote, Biden receives all 46 Iowa delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The convention process kicks off with our county convention on March 23, 2024. I am a delegate from my precinct.
Among the races to watch last night was the North Carolina Republican primary where election denier/holocaust denier/Trump supporter Mark Robinson won and will face Democrat Josh Stein in the general election. In the California race to replace U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey advanced to the general election.
There were 16 state results, plus American Samoa. Biden and Trump dominated their parties and are expected to win the nominations. This sentence could have been written before Super Tuesday. Unless your state was voting/caucusing, there was little reason to pay attention to the results. Once Iowa was called, I went to bed and read the rest of the results in the morning.
This week Greg Sargent wrote about the results of a Democratic poll which showed a small percentage of voters surveyed are familiar with Trump’s most overt authoritarian outbursts. One hopes Democrats will tune in and soon. The article suggests the electorate is tuned out at the moment.
A lot depends on the results of the general election.
