“Energized Biden Backers Launch NH Write-In Push After President Opts Out of Ballot

The Biden-Harris campaign has seen its success turn into a surge of grassroots enthusiasm and support for the ticket across the country. Now, Biden supporters in New Hampshire have launched an ambitious write-in campaign to get their candidate on the ballot for the state’s 2020 General Election. After President Donald Trump chose not to ballot in New Hampshire, the Granite State’s lack of state law blocking write-in candidates for president made the launch of a write-in campaign to encourage Biden supporters to cast their vote in the November election a natural next step. The New Hampshire write-in campaign, backed by leading figures of the state’s progressive community, focuses on mobilizing Biden followers to fill in the presidential votes on their general election ballot. Organizers have created radio spots, invested in digital advertising, and planned targeted outreach approaches to inform the public of the option. “It might be the most complicated choice a voter’s ever made on a ballot,” said Rosemary Liston, a grassroots organizer in New Hampshire and a write-in Biden campaigner. “But if they know that all they have to do is write in Joe Biden, they’ll know what to do.” Molly Kelly, a longtime Biden supporter and former New Hampshire governor, is also actively promoting the effort. She believes the movement could prove vital in the election. “I’m urging my fellow citizens across the state of New Hampshire to write in Joe Biden for president,” Kelly said in a statement. “Our votes matter, and every vote counts. Our collective actions will make a difference this November 3rd.” With the write-in campaign gaining traction, the Biden-Harris ticket is receiving a major boost in a state where votes could potentially swing the election. It’s a remarkable moment for Biden supporters, and a reminder that enthusiasm behind a campaign can manifest into tangible results at the ballot box.
