While he wasn&#8217;t successful in unseating the state from its\u200b first-in-the-nation\u200c primary slot, this decision has added a new twist to the contest and created complications\u200d for his campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-trump-campaign-takes-fight-over-pennsylvania-election-and-mail-in-ballot-laws-to-us-supreme-court\/\" title=\"NEW: Trump Campaign Takes Fight Over Pennsylvania Election and Mail-In Ballot Laws to US Supreme Court\">state election officials<\/a>, and voters.<\/p>\n<p>The details of next year&#8217;s New Hampshire primary are still being determined, \u2064but the event is already taking shape. According to state law, \u200dNew Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan has the exclusive authority to set\u2062 the date for the primary,\u2063 but he has yet to do so. Traditionally, the primary has been held the\u200c Tuesday following the Iowa caucuses, which are scheduled for Jan. 15.<\/p>\n<p>However, state law also states that the primary must be held at least seven days before any similar contest. The South Carolina Democratic primary on Feb.\u200b 3 is the earliest contest on the Democratic\u200d National Committee&#8217;s official calendar, making Jan. 23 the only Tuesday that \u200cfits within these parameters.<\/p>\n<p>This move is the latest development in an ongoing dispute\u200c within the Democratic Party over which states and regions should \u2062have the first \u2064say in determining the party&#8217;s presidential nominees. While Iowa and New Hampshire have traditionally kicked off the nomination process, other states have challenged their prime placement over\u200c the years, resulting in a steadily earlier start to the primary \u200ccampaign season.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Biden, \u200cwho\u200b placed fifth in New Hampshire, urged Democratic Party officials to rearrange the primary\u2062 calendar with South Carolina in the lead-off position. His decisive win in \u2064the\u2062 2020 \u200cSouth Carolina primary revitalized \u2064his campaign and set him on a path to\u2062 secure the nomination. The DNC adopted his proposal, scheduling\u2062 the South Carolina primary for Feb. 3, \u2063followed\u200d by New Hampshire and Nevada on\u2063 Feb. 6.<\/p>\n<p>However, New Hampshire made it clear that it intended to maintain its first-in-the-nation\u200c primary status, risking penalties \u2063from the DNC. Rather than defy\u2064 the rules he advocated for, Biden chose not to appear on\u2062 the New Hampshire primary ballot.<\/p>\n<p>While Biden&#8217;s\u2063 name won&#8217;t be printed on the ballot, some state Democratic leaders are \u200borganizing a write-in effort on his behalf. This isn&#8217;t unprecedented, as President \u200bLyndon Johnson\u2063 won the New Hampshire primary in 1968 as a \u200cwrite-in candidate.<\/p>\n<p>According to the secretary of state, \u200dlocal officials will process ballots with write-in votes on election night \u2063and tabulate them along with votes for other candidates. The challenge lies in whether these write-in totals will be broken down by individual candidates on election night, as it is more common to release a \u2063cumulative total for all write-in candidates \u2064and provide a detailed breakdown later.<\/p>\n<p>The larger question is how the national party will respond to New Hampshire Democrats holding their \u200cprimary earlier\u200d than allowed. \u2064In the past, the DNC has taken various actions, such as stripping states of all\u2062 their delegate votes or granting them <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-massive-gamble-led-to-him-being-left-off-ballot-in-first-primary-state\/\" title=\"Biden's Risky Move Backfires, Excludes Him from First Primary State Ballot.\">reduced \u200dvoting rights<\/a> at the national convention.<\/p>\n<p>As the candidate filing period for the New Hampshire primary comes to a close, Biden&#8217;s absence from the ballot has certainly shaken up the race. The simplest path to appear on the ballot is to submit a Declaration of Candidacy and pay a $1,000\u200b filing fee. The\u200b crowded \u200bfield in the 2020 primary, with \u206433 Democratic and 17 Republican candidates, is \u200ba testament to the\u2064 minimal filing requirements.<\/p>\n<p>While Biden&#8217;s\u2063 gamble may have left him off the ballot, the outcome of the New Hampshire primary\u200c remains uncertain. The state&#8217;s influential Democrats and their role in turning out supporters in a swing state could influence how the national party handles the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Biden&#8217;s decision not to \u2062appear \u2064on the ballot has injected excitement and intrigue into the first primary state, setting the stage for a compelling and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/john-fetterman-wins-hotly-contested-pa-senate-race-against-dr-oz-projection\/\" title=\"John Fetterman Wins Hotly Contested PA Senate Race Against Dr. Oz: Projection\">closely watched contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\">The\u200d Western Journal has reviewed this Associated Press story and may have altered\u2063 it prior to publication to ensure that\u200b it meets\u2062 our editorial \u2063standards.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-bidens-massive-gamble-led-left-off-ballot-first-primary-state\/\">Biden&#8217;s Massive Gamble Led\u2062 to Him Being Left Off\u2062 Ballot in First Primary State<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western \u2062Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2062 How might Biden&#8217;s decision\u2064 not to appear on the New Hampshire ballot impact his overall support \u200din the state?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  The results separately from the other candidates listed on the ballot. This means that if Biden receives\u200c a significant number of write-in votes, it\u200c could\u2064 still provide a boost to his campaign and keep his momentum going into the later primary states.<\/p>\n<p>However, not \u2062appearing on the ballot does \u200ccome\u200b with \u2063risks.\u2062 Without his name listed, Biden will miss out on the\u2064 visibility and legitimacy\u200d that comes with being\u2062 a candidate in the primary. It may also discourage some voters who \u200brely on the\u2063 ballot to make their decision,\u2064 potentially\u2064 impacting his overall support in the\u2063 state.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, \u2062the decision\u2064 not to appear on the New Hampshire\u200b ballot could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-classified-2016-email-reveals-senior-state-official-was-concerned-about-hunters-ukrainian-business-dealings\/\" title=\"Report: Classified 2016 Email Reveals Senior State Official Was Concerned About Hunter\u2019s Ukrainian Business Dealings\">send mixed messages<\/a> to voters in other early \u2062primary states, such as\u2063 Iowa and Nevada. By skipping one \u200dof\u200b the earliest and most influential states, Biden could be seen \u2062as not taking the nomination process seriously or not wanting to compete in states where his chances\u200b of success may\u2063 be \u200blower.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, this decision adds another layer of complexity for state election officials. They will need to educate voters about the write-in process and ensure\u2062 that the ballots are properly counted\u200c and tabulated. This \u200bmay require additional\u2062 resources and efforts, diverting attention and resources from other aspects of the primary \u2062election.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Biden&#8217;s choice not to appear on \u200dthe New Hampshire primary\u2064 ballot is a significant gamble. While it may free up\u2064 his \u200dcampaign to focus on other early primary states, it also comes with potential drawbacks and complications. Only \u2064time will tell if this move pays off and helps Biden \u200csecure \u200dthe nomination, or if it proves to be a misstep\u200d that hinders his campaign.
