On Feb. 3, Democrats running for the 2020 presidency were put together to put in line the first of many selections of who will not be eligible for the primary. Eventually, there will only be one Democrartic candidate left to compete against one Republican.
In this caucus, only Iowa Democrats are allowed to vote and these votes alone are what decide the fate of the candidates running. These voters are a big juncture in the elections, so it is important that they are informed and that candidates are able to win them over to their side.
There was a recent recount of the votes, as requested by Bernie Sanders’ team, as the votes were at such a slim margin of difference. However, as of Feb. 3, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Paul Buttigieg has the most delegate votes, tallying up at 14. He is closely followed by the Vermont U.S. senator Bernie Sanders with 12 delegate votes.
The next large candidate selection process was the New Hampshire Presidential Primary on February 11th. Here both Democratic and Republican voters will be able to cast a ballot. It is at these cornerstones in the elections where the biggest decisions are made, making it of the utmost importance that voters are informed and that they turn up.
That being said, all elections are important and the voices of the people need to be heard. Every voice needs to be counted, so be it a local election or a presidential primary, it is key for all citizens to show up and support a candidate.
