Write-in

edit

How relevant is the information about two 1960s Democrats winning as write-in candidates? This seems more appropriate for the general New Hampshire primary page.Dobbyelf62 (talk) 18:11, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I already removed it. David O. Johnson (talk) 18:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Sad, it was a fun fact and directly related to some of the results. It might be nice to put it back.Arglebargle79 (talk) 00:31, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
This information is already included here, where it belongs. --Spiffy sperry (talk) 01:29, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Collapse the polling?

edit

Does anyone object to collapsing the polling, except for the polling aggregates, similar to 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses#Polling? - MrX 🖋 12:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Go ahead. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ) 14:36, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
No it should be collapsed. Mr Ernie (talk) 15:50, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Michael Bloomberg

edit

Officially, he isn't even on the ballot. However, some towns show him as the winner. Which is correct? Is he a write-in candidate? --Numberguy6 (talk) 21:52, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, he's a write-in candidate. See here:[1]. David O. Johnson (talk) 22:05, 11 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

No point including Yang etc in header

edit

Most likely only Sanders, Buttegieg and Klobuchar are getting delegates. Warren and Biden should probably stay in the table because they're likely in it for the long haul, but no point including Yang, Steyer and Gabbard (and I like her too). MaxBrowne2 (talk) 02:06, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Request for evidence of claim made

edit

@Gambling8nt, Purplebackpack89, and Saxones288: The statement "map shows Bloomberg won Dixville Notch, and ample sourcing on and off wikipedia to establish this" was made in a revert ([2]) of my revert. Is it factually true? If so, I would like to request evidence of the claim. Geographyinitiative (talk) 05:40, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I would like to request that you add the information directly on to this page or link me to the section in which the evidence appears. Geographyinitiative (talk) 05:41, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • @Geographyinitiative: In the very next edit after I revert you, I added a source that noted that Dixville Notch went to Bloomberg see here. However, another editor removed the Dixville Notch information, which should not have been done. There are also additional sources in the "Vote in Dixville Notch" section below. pbp 14:22, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Vote in Dixville Notch

edit

The section previously in this article about midnight voting has been removed, but there are numerous sources noting that Bloomberg won Dixville Notch, such as CNN:"Five voters in Dixville Notch showed up to make their selection at midnight. Two Democrats voted for Bloomberg, one for Buttigieg and one for Sanders. The sole Republican voter also wrote in Bloomberg."

  • Gregory Krieg; Lauren Dezenski. "Amy Klobuchar leads midnight vote in New Hampshire". CNN. Retrieved February 12, 2020.

And the Associated Press: "Dixville Notch’s five residents cast their ballots just after the stroke of midnight Tuesday in the first 2020 presidential primary vote in the nation. Bloomberg received three write-in votes, one from a Republican and two from Democrats. The remaining votes went to Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders."

@Gambling8nt: Why do these three votes not appear in the vote total? Also, Warren has more than three votes but she doesn't have a color box in the infobox. Geographyinitiative (talk) 05:44, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Bloomberg is still under "Total write-ins" as he is a write in candidate and his votes haven't been disambiguated from any other write-ins yet, as far as I know. And he rates a map section because he has 2 of the 4 votes in the entire town of Dixville, located near the top of the map.Gambling8nt (talk) 05:46, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Gambling8nt: I have added a 'better source needed' to the information about media reports of Bloomberg's victory awaiting evidence that media reports of what happened are validated by the party. Geographyinitiative (talk) 05:51, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Gambling8nt: I added him to the list of votes by saying he's one of the people with write-ins Geographyinitiative (talk) 06:02, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • The section about Dixville Notch needs to be re-added, because that's the easiest way to support in prose why Bloomberg won a town and needs a color in an infobox. pbp 14:24, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
The Bloomberg total has been reported in the news. Same with Romney, I was told by someone in the NH decretary of state's office (taking a tour) that Trump got a bunch as well. When there are numbers, I'll add 'emArglebargle79 (talk) 01:42, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Arglebargle79:: Result table now updated with 6185 write-ins as per the official write-in figures (now also added as a source), which I opted to split up into the following four lines: Bloomberg=4777, Donald Trump=1219, other Write-ins=173, Bill Weld=16. Another fun fact is that Trump despite of the higher voter turnout had a worse Democratic Primary in 2020 with 1,219 votes, compared to his 1,795 write-in votes in 2016. Other result links (also for the Republican primary) can be found at the NHSS official result website. Danish Expert (talk) 13:44, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Slightly different numbers

edit

The numbers reported on the page are sourced from NPR, but they are slightly different than the ones found on the New Hampshire Secretary of State website , see here: https://sos.nh.gov/20PresPrimaryDem.aspx Eccekevin (talk) 00:48, 13 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Done Updated all figures to be the official most recent version from the NHSS. Also removed the NPR source as it is no longer being updated. Danish Expert (talk) 13:29, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Infobox inclusion

edit

Should Warren and Biden be removed from the infobox? They both got no delegates and below 10% of the votes.  Nixinova  T  C   01:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes. David O. Johnson (talk) 03:09, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
I've removed them. WittyRecluse (talk) 13:13, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
I know they've already been removed, but I think they should stay, they both got above 5% of the vote, and that's the cutoff I think should be used. Devonian Wombat (talk) 21:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Alright, they should stay then, I just thought 10% was the prior consensus. Obviously, there was no consensus, my bad. WittyRecluse (talk) 16:56, 21 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

No, they shouldn’t be removed. 5% is the typical cutoff. I’m putting them back because they were removed before a discussion could be had. Smith0124 (talk) 22:07, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

It's subjective but I say keep them because they are both still considered realistic possibilities for the nomination even if they didn't do well in New Hampshire. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 23:09, 20 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
