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 of 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.
On this episode of the podcast we spoke with two of the organizers behind this campaign to vote "uncommitted” and heard about what comes next.
