This yr would be the first time im eligible to vote. The primary is coming up for my state. Im a bit confused as to what were voting for. Arent the candidates already determined? Is Joe Biden not the democratic nominee and the incumbent president would automatically default to being the other parties candidate as long as theyre eligible. What am i missing? The resources online are horrible and say that were voting for our parties preferential candidate...again isnt that already determined?

CEO1 Is wrong. Biden secured enough delegates to be nominated as the Democrats' nominee last week. Unless he dies or is found to have murdered someone he will be the nominee

Yeah. Not trying to call you out. Just wanting to make sure OP is informed

Joe Biden isn’t officially nominated until the Democratic Convention (scheduled for August I believe).

Last I checked he does not have enough delegates to win with a majority in the first round of voting. Per DNC rules, if no one wins the first round, many delegates can vote for whoever they want, not just who the primary voters voted for, including “superdelegates”, and it can become a “brokered convention” where essentially the DNC can nominate anyone they want to—they would not have to nominate the person who won the most delegates. (I was corrected—Biden apparently does have a majority)

On the Republican side, there is a similar but slightly different set of rules, but for all practical purposes Trump is the nominee.

Also, President is only one of the offices on the ballot. Many other candidates are running for other offices including state and local elections.

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months.

What do I do?

Been getting some interesting ads in Georgia. Got a letter about how Jon Ossoff is going to destroy Georgia’s economy and attacking him and his character. This was generated by David Perdue.

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.

Republicans go low, democrats play smart.
