Biden Won Tuesday's Primaries As Voters Embraced Voting By Mail,,,,✉ 📭

Amid the economic and social turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Democratic presidential primary marched on yesterday as three delegate-rich states (admittedly one fewer than expected) went to the polls. And as expected, former Vice President Joe Biden scored decisive victories in all three, further distancing himself from Sen. Bernie Sanders in the race for the Democratic nomination


Basically, the data from yesterday’s elections suggests that, in the face of the coronavirus threat, many voters simply traded voting in person for voting early or by mail. As long as the pandemic lingers, this could become a new normal for elections

Voting by mail is the best.....






If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

This morning to get my absentee ballot. He told me it would probably next week but I would get it.

I suggest this to all my Buckeye friends to make sure you vote.
