Many states also include non-partisan races on the primary ballot. You need every possible Dem vote, especially in deep red states like Nebraska. Our unicameral Legislature is officially "non-partisan" - there is no party designation on the ballot.

If keeping Bernie on the ballot gets him a few more delegates, it's worth it to get more Dem votes for the other races.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
