The heavy shadow of low participation and uncommitted voters on “Great Tuesday”

The Guardian English media wrote that due to the low level of competition and the certainty of the victory of “Donald Trump” and “Joe Biden” in the intra-party competition held on Great Tuesday, the voters’ lack of enthusiasm for The participation in the polls of both parties in more than 15 states and their low attendance at the polls were highlighted.

The Guardian newspaper wrote that the level of voter participation in the Democratic and Republican elections was lower than in previous rounds, although in some states the campaigns of protesters against Biden’s support for the Zionist regime, known as “non-committed voters”, in support of non-committed voting, attracted parts of the voters. They encouraged coming to the polls.

Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon told reporters on Tuesday: “Several factors have affected voter turnout.” The first factor is the existence of inspiring candidates, and the next factor is the perception of the existence of competition.”

This state official emphasized that there is not much competitiveness in intra-party competitions, including in the state under his command.

According to the Guardian, in the state of California, a small number of voters believed that their vote would have an impact in this year’s primary race, and the low turnout at the polls has caused them concern.

The American publication Politico also wrote that only about eight percent of the 22 million Californian voters returned their mail ballots a week before the election day. This percentage was even lower among younger voters between the ages of 18 and 34, who usually support progressive candidates and priorities. Only 2% of the voters of this age group returned their postal votes in the same period of time.

The Guardian magazine wrote in another part of this assessment of the Big Tuesday contest: “Perhaps the biggest threat against Biden in the Democratic primaries is none other than the anti-war Gaza Democrats who, in protest against him, have asked voters to vote non-committal.” Or choose no preference.”

This publication pointed out that in the state of Michigan, along with the presence of a large population of Arab Muslim voters, the campaign to protest against Biden by not voting for him was able to record 100,000 uncommitted votes in the primary race of this state, and this is a warning to Biden about The risk of losing the power of his supporting voter base in this state is decisive.

After this incident, US Vice President Kamala Harris called for an immediate temporary ceasefire in Gaza, which shows the effectiveness of this protest campaign’s tactics, but the organizers of this election protest stressed that Biden should demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. /p>

Khalid Omar, one of the voters protesting against Biden in Minnesota, who helped organize this protest movement, said: “They are feeling our pressure and we want them to feel this pressure. We want them to know that this situation is unacceptable

The Guardian wrote that in several states, the number of “non-committed” protest votes in the Democratic primaries was significant, such as 20 percent of voters in Minnesota, about 9 percent of voters in Massachusetts, and about 12 percent of voters in North Carolina. or they chose “no preference”.

This English publication wrote: “The anti-war movement is not going to withdraw. As their movement grows, the Non-Aligned’s call for a cease-fire will continue to dominate the headlines, forcing Biden to grapple with his biggest dilemma among Democrats.

The Guardian also predicted that if a special non-election event such as a crisis for the health of the candidates or the issuance of a prison sentence does not happen, the 2024 presidential election will once again witness a repeat of the competition between Biden and Trump as in the 2020 election.

This publication wrote: “The surge campaign to hold Biden accountable for Gaza is the only remaining obstacle for the US president this election season. Candidates competing with Biden have not been able to win enough votes in the intra-party competition to remain in the competition in a valid way. For months, Trump and Biden have acted as if the election between them is being held right now, and both of their campaigns have focused on fighting each other rather than fighting other intra-party rivals. There is a distinction between these two people very similar to the 2020 competition”.
