    Biden ran unopposed because he’s already been crowned. There wasn’t even an “undecided” on the ballot.

    So lots of Dems voted in the Republican primary because that was the only one with a presidential choice.

    If you a Dem in Indiana or other primary states only 4 months before the primary is over, you’re one of the states that the DNC doesn’t give a fuck about its voters or their stances.

    That’s why Indiana only goes Dem for candidates like Obama they believe will help them.

    Biden ain’t that.

      The Trump campaign claimed without evidence that Haley’s support came from Democrats, adding that he would carry Indiana in November, as in 2016 and 2020

      Hey, you and the Trump campaign have something in common!

      Do you have a reputable source you can cite to bolster your claim? It isn’t that i don’t trust you, i don’t trust the Internet at large.

        With a secret ballot there is no way to know who voted for who. when talking about your vote the ethical thing is to lie.

          Indiana it’s public record which ballot you take.

          So someone could theoretically compare that to the party registration, but this misses all the people who are Independent but typically vote Dem.

          In any case, it’s not something I can just grab two days after the election and do myself for a social media comment.

          I appreciate the reply, but a reddit post doesn’t qualify as a reputable source for anything. I’d be happy to read a news article or research paper if you have one.

      I don’t live in Indiana anymore but, I voted republican for the primaries because as a citizen I am concerned as to who will be on the 2 sides we currently have in November. I wanted to take my small stance in voting in that upcoming decision.

      I think we should totally move to ranked choice and ditch the electoral college. This current, you don’t get a say in half of the choice till the end, and then could be over-ruled with a rogue electorate, is absolute garbage in this day and age.
