Incumbent US President Joe Biden swept to an easy victory in last Saturday's privately held Missouri Democratic Primary which was sponsored and paid for by the Missouri Democratic Party. The big surprise in the primary wasn't Biden's win, which was expected, it was the fact that 19,100 were able to figure out how to obtain mail ballots or where to vote if they wished to do so in person. The extremely low participation was due in no small measure to the feeble-to-almost-nonexistent attempts by the state party to adequately publicize the event.
Four years ago when the state ran the presidential preference primaries, 666,112 votes were cast in the Democratic contest.
Here are the results of this year's contest:
- Joe Biden won with 16,295 votes (85.3%) and received 61 of 64 delegates to the national convention;
- Uncommitted: 2,229 votes (11.7%) and three delegates to the national convention;
- Marianne Williamson: 298 votes (1.6%);
- Dean Phillips: 178 votes (.9%);
- Stephen Lyon: 40 votes (.2%);
- Jason Palmer: 36 votes (.2%); and,
- Armando Perez-Serrato: 24 votes (.1%)
Congratulations to all who participated, either on the ballot or by voting.
