2020 Primary Results for Doylestown and Beyond

Our friends at Bucks Voices compiled some results that you will want to see!

What we learned in this Primary:

  1. Biden easily won the state-wide contest, beating Trump by more than 60,000 votes (not counting the 200,000 votes that went to Sanders)

  2. In Bucks, 18,000 more Ds voted than Rs. 

  3. Biden outperformed Trump by over 10,000 votes (not counting the 12,000+ votes that went to Sanders) in Bucks.

  4. 66% of the D voters took advantage of Mail-In Ballots (MIBs)

  5. We need to increase the current 36.5% MIB rate and the 77.2% ballot return rate for our D voters in the November election

  6. All D state representative incumbents performed extremely well in the Primary beating their challengers

  7. Only one R state rep incumbent had more votes than their D challengers

  8.  We still have lots of work to do to increase State Rep candidates' name recognition and for voters to vote down ballot. Voters need to understand the importance of turning the state house blue in November.

The far-right R challenger Meehan gave Fitzpatrick a run with 37% of the votes. We can only hope the Trumpian Meehan voters will NOT vote for the "independent" Fitz in the general. Go Christina Finello!
