100,000+ Michiganders Voted "Uncommitted"
In Michigan's primary election, more than 13% of people who voted on the Democratic ballot cast an “uncommitted” vote, which was enough votes to be awarded a couple delegates at the Democratic National Convention. These voters want a permanent ceasefire to put an end to the five-month long U-S-backed Israeli bombardment and siege of Palestine. Today we’re going to hear again from the organizers behind this campaign to vote "uncommitted” and hear about what comes next?
GUESTS:
Abbas Alawieh, political strategist and spokesman for Listen to Michigan
Layla Elabed, campaign manager for Listen to Michigan
