albaby1: Anyway, it looks like the "uncommitted" effort ended up being.....middling. About 100K votes...
Other interesting numbers from Michigan:
19.9% of the democratic votes were cast 'against' Biden while 32.2% of the republican votes were cast 'against' Trump.
During Obama's incumbent primary in 2012, he got a total of 174,054 votes in Michigan. There were a total of 194,887 votes cast in the entire Democratic primary (so about 11% voted uncommitted). Yesterday, Biden got 618,426 votes with 7% of the vote still to count (so about 13% voted uncommitted).
All in all, Trump ended up with 68.2% of the vote to Nikki Haley's 26.6%, which the media are touting as a big success, while Biden ended up with 80.1% of the vote (second place garnered 3.0%), which the media are calling worrisome.
