  1. How so? Because your preferred candidate didn't win? The New Hampshire voters chose Biden, even without his name being on the ballot.

  2. And yet, the other candidates actually have their names on the ballot in New Hampshire. Biden doesn't.

  3. It amazes me that people like Robert Maples so proudly display their ignorance.

  4.  @blksbth1  His blatant ignorance was in claiming Biden is the only one running. There were 21 candidates on the NH ballot. Biden wasn't one of them.

  5.  @PoliticallyHomeless1  They could tell form the absolutely massive percentage of ballots being write-ins that Biden was going to win. And that prediction was clearly correct. Currently with 94% of precincts reporting, Biden is at 55%, with another 11% being unprocessed write-ins. 6.3% of the vote is listed as "other" (ie neither Biden nor any of the 21 candidates whose names were on the ballot), which would be the people who wrote in "Ceasefire", "Palestinian State", or other such messages. That last 11% of the vote that's unprocessed write-ins will be split between protest messages and Biden votes. We don't yet know in what proportions. But Biden's percentage will go up at least a few points after all the write-ins are processed. It's not some conspiracy, sometimes an election is simply a blowout, and this makes it possible for media outlets to call a winner as soon as the polls close. Sometimes it's even a big enough blowout that it would be possible to project the winner before the polls close, and that used to sometimes happen. But since media outlets who did that got blasted for voter suppression (calling the race while people are still voting will encourage them to just leave the line and go home), no significant media outlets ever do that anymore.

  6. They're not telling you what the percentages are for the candidates who got less than 1%.

  7.  @paulbentley1705  What are you clowns babbling about? The voters had plenty of choices. There were 21 candidates who actually had their names on the Democratic primary ballot. Joe Biden wasn't even one of them, since he didn't even submit his name for the primary. Yet New Hampshire voters still chose Joe Biden, writing his name in rather than voting for any of the other candidates.

  8. No they aren't.

  9. How exactly where they not "allowed" a chance? The DNC didn't write in Joe Biden's name. The voters did that.

  10. Literally nothing of the sort has ever happened.

  11.  @DemonDog444  It takes a special kind of stupid to think Nikki Haley is a Democrat.

  12. Yes, it's completely reasonable. Phillips is a nothing candidate. When one candidate gets a lot more votes than the other candidate, it's going to be very common for there to be updates to the count that add thousands for one candidate and zero for the other.

  13.  @corysnow7811  No, it doesn't seem odd at all.

  14.  @BurnyburnyCutcut  Statistics absolutely don't say it's impossible. Do you even know what statistics are?

  15.  @kensmith5694  And flipping a coin isn't even the best analogy here. When you flip a coin, the odds of heads are exactly the same as a the odds of tails. When you're counting votes in the New Hampshire primary, the odds of any given vote being for Biden are a lot higher than of the vote being for Phillips.

  16. Because those other candidates have less than 1% of the vote.
