Deeply Local Presidential Primary Results
In Elberta/Gilmore, it's Biden and Trump
With a turnout of 186 voters, split right down the middle between the two ballots, with 93 of us voting Democratic and 93 Republican, here are the numbers:
Democrat
Joseph R. Biden Jr. 81
Dean Phillips 2
Marianne Williamson 2
Uncommitted 8
Write-in 0
Total 93
Republican
Ryan L. Binkley 0
Chris Christie 1
Ron DeSantis 0
Nikki Haley 19
Asa Hutchinson 1
Vivek Ramaswamy 2
Donald J. Trump 65
Uncommitted 3
Write-in 2
Total 93
Amazing election workers Dave Bissell, Joni Hennard, Carol Lee, and Dianne Braybrook were still digging through the pile of ballots when I left, looking for the two write-ins. They have to check to make sure the write-ins were for a legit candidate (meaning someone who had filed the paperwork). If you happen to write-in a name who is not an official write-in candidate, or if you write in something else (Carrot Top, I Brake for Woolly Bears, Roll Tide, you get the idea) your vote will NOT be counted at all. Just so you know!
Thank you for playing national politics, everybody!
