With Pete Buttigieg and Tom Steyer out of the race and Joe Biden showing new life, some who already voted are wishing for a Super Tuesday do-over.
After Joe Biden’s blowout win in the South Carolina primary and the weekend decisions of Pete Buttigieg and Tom Steyer to drop out of the 2020 race, some California voters who already cast ballots can’t help but feel a bit of remorse over their pick for Democratic presidential nominee.
I “voted two weeks ago for Pete and wish I waited later to vote for Biden,” Los Angeles resident Justin Satzman, who works in entertainment marketing, told HuffPost in an email. “I’m terrified that no one but Bernie reaches viability statewide and my home state provides him with a delegate lead that’s insurmountable.” Some states like Michigan, which holds its primary on March 10, allow early voters to “spoil” their ballots and obtain a new one.
Story continuesThe former vice president is hoping that his dominant victory in South Carolina translates into additional support across the 14 states that will vote on Super Tuesday. With Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont leading in most polls of California, Biden needs to outperform with voters who haven’t yet voted to qualify for the 15% threshold required to win any delegates in the state. One analysis showed that about 40% of California voters have already cast their ballots, however.
“Mailed in my ballot for Warren a couple weeks ago. No regrets,” Steve Meng, a chemistry teacher, said.
