This is the #Michigan #primary data I’m looking at:

The #Biden / #Trump side by side comparison.

So far, with a smaller percentage of Democratic votes counted, Biden is beating Trump, even w/ the #uncommitted #ProtestVote.

Biden has 89,813 votes w/ 12.38% of the vote counted.

Trump has 89,708 votes w/ 12.61% of the vote counted.

Assume conservatively that in the general election Biden gets at least 50% of those uncommitted votes.

We're going to need a lot more #Democrats to #vote in the #GeneralElection than did in the #primary if we want #Biden to beat #trump. Look at the total number of votes.

Even if Biden picks up 100% of the "#uncommitted" & Trump only gets 50% of #Haley's, Trump still wins #Michigan.

Agree 💯! Yesterday's turnout was anemic, less than half the number of votes cast on the Democratic side in the 2020 primary. We need numbers like the 65% that voted in the 2020 November election! Yesterday was a combined 22.5%. (26 tfg, 19 B)
