A write-in campaign for President Joe Biden won the New Hampshire Democratic primary Tuesday, after the state was stripped of its delegates by the Democratic National Committee.

Voters who wrote in Biden’s name beat out Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and self-help author Marianne Williamson, according to three news networks, with early counts of unprocessed write-in ballots outnumbering votes for Phillips by a more-than-three-to-one margin.

it gets harder for the media to pretend that any of the also-rans are relevant to the race.

Do you mean the Republicans? As far as I could tell, the major networks basically ignored the Democrat hopefuls

I took pohl to mean if biden had not won it would have been a big news item but now its not much of one.

Why wouldn't they?

The DNC stripped NH of their delegates because the Republicans in charge of the state government wouldn't change the state law that says NH has to hold their primary first. So the Dem primary results literally don't matter...

What's weird is the major networks are ignoring that and acting like Biden winning zero delegates means anything.
