    I don’t think I understand the first line of your comment.

    In Michigan, the primaries are separated by political affiliation. People have to select which political party they want a ballot for and can only vote for that party’s candidates. It’s possible for folks to select a ballot that’s not their preferred party, but at the expense of their vote for their own party.

    Unless you’re saying that the uncommitted voters would choose Trump over Biden. Then - yeah. Totally agree with you. Most will ’fall into line,’ while the others will likely not vote. But it’s unlikely that uncommitteds will switch parties.

    And, yeah. That’s pretty much it as far as the reasoning.
    I am concerned that the number of disaffected/nonvoting people will impact the outcome of the election, but November is still months away.
