They have Arabic ballots so that kind of eliminates the language barrier. I can't imagine Dearborn wouldn't have Arabic speaking poll workers. When I voted they handed me a card to fill out and check what ballot I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfife Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 there were 3 checkboxes on my slip, Democrat Ballot, Republican Ballot, and a third one with a longer description. The guy in front of me marked that third one and they said that one wasn't actually a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I trusted Republicans to come around on Trump more than Democrats. A lot of these virtue signaling voters in the Democratic primary are young and notorious unreliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Uncommitted doing decent in Metro Detroit and in Washtenaw, lagging considerably elsewhere. It'll probably land between 10-15% I'd guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to be a pattern and it is is definately worth watching. Whether or not the same thing is happening in the general election polls is unknown, but seeing his strength getting overestimated in the primaries gives us hope that the same thing is happening in the general election polling.

My home county is just about finished counting (Huron), located in one of the more conservative, Trumpy areas of the state, and he's pulling 72%. With not half bad turnout in the Democratic primary taking place simultaneously relative to partisanship. That's pretty eye-opening to me.

mtutiger Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 The Dearborn numbers (which I guess could still fluctuate) just seem really underwhelming for the uncommitted campaign considering the outsized media coverage it has gotten. Overall, philosophically, I don't have a problem with uncommitted. It's designed as a pressure relief valve, and it can still have that practice here, I really do believe it. But the fact that this became so polarized is 100% on the media. They just *had* to have a story to run with, and they will have it whether the results bear it out or not.

That 5,000 number could be a maximum. For example in a crowded primary for 7 council seats with 17 candidates on the ballot you would see a crowded and mixed field with everyone around 1 to 2 thousand votes. But you can’t assume the top vote getters carry over. Someone like me runs then all my friends and family vote for me. That’s all I got. I tap out. Come the general then the incumbents pick up the non primary voters who know their names. A fifth place finisher in the primary can be the top finisher in the election. The passion behind that uncommitted vote drew them to the polls. Those who care about Gaza voted. That’s their top line number now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
