The effort comes after President Biden’s reelection campaign said last week he would decline to have his name appear on the ballot because of new Democratic National Committee rules.
A group is urging voters in New Hampshire to write in President Biden's name on the state's primary ballot. in New Hampshire’s primary election next year after the president declined to add his name to the ballot — the latest in a standoff between the Granite State’s election officials and the Democratic National Committee.
The group includes more than 100 prominent New Hampshire Democratic and independent figures, including state lawmakers and former party leaders.Earlier this year, the DNC approved a plan to reshuffle the order in which states would appear in its 2024 primary calendar, moving South Carolina to the first spot, followed by New Hampshire and Nevada a week later, then Michigan.
New Hampshire officials have not yet set its 2024 primary date but are eyeing January and they have insisted they still plan to be the first state in the country to hold one. One certainty, however, is that Biden’s name will not appear on the ballot.Biden’s campaign intentionally missed a filing deadline last week to appear on the New Hampshire primary ballot, saying doing so would be in violation of new DNC rules that changed the order of its primary calendar.
Scanlan said last week that write-in ballots would need to be counted by hand, though he said he was not worried about getting additional volunteers to help with that.
“Supporting our democracy is much more important than party politics or misguided DNC rules. This is about doing what’s right for our country,” the group stated. “We in New Hampshire have said all along that whatever the DNC does, NH will follow its law and have the first presidential primary. Well, we’re having the first in the nation primary — and now it’s up to us to show the nation and world that Joe Biden is the president we need to protect our freedom.
