Talk:2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries

Remove Tulsi from infobox
The inclusion of Tulsi Gabbard and Amy Klobuchar in the infobox does not fit in with other primary election pages. Considering neither won a contest, nor got above 5% of the vote, they should not be included. This especially applies to Gabbard, as she got such a small percentage of the vote, and her inclusion also adds an extra row to the infobox which makes it look worse. Candidates such as Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, John Edwards, Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton, Joe Lieberman, and many more all got way higher popular vote percentages and delegate totals despite not being included in infoboxes. Either Tulsi and possibly Klobuchar as well should be removed, or the aforementioned candidates should be added to their respective pages. DragonLegit04 (talk) 02:14, 19 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I second this opinion. Tulsi did not do anything except get a few lucky delegates in American Samoa. Did not even come close to the 5% to be relevant. Should not be on the list. Trajan1 (talk) 23:34, 29 August 2023 (UTC)


 * This is something that was discussed as the primaries were ongoing, but I believe it is worth re-visiting now. Given that it has been 3 years since the primaries, it's clear that Gabbard was not impactful on the overall results of the elections. Reliable sources are not looking back on the primaries and discussing her impact in any meaningful way. I believe that the criteria for inclusion should be (a) winning a contest, (b) winning 5% of the popular vote, and/or (c) winning 5% of the delegates. (And that means Klobuchar should be removed, too). My understanding is that those three criteria were the long-standing consensus prior to the 2020 primaries, and it was only changed for this article after the results started rolling in.Michelangelo1992 (talk) 00:01, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Candidate colors/gradients
Both the 2016 Democratic Party presidential primaries and the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries have maps which represent the popular vote winner by county (or other subdivision) using a color gradient to show the margin of victory. I'm proposing below the following color gradients be used for the candidates in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries to establish a uniform way of creating new maps which represent margins and distinguish candidates. I welcome all suggestions.

Footnote for NH results
My footnote for the NH results was reverted. I believe it should be included in the infobox because it makes the status of NH clearer. Sanders won the popular vote; Buttigieg and Sanders both won nine delegates. (This is consistent with the 2024 primary page, where a footnote is included with Palmer's win at the time of my writing this). My suggestion: "This includes a tie for New Hampshire, in which Sanders and Buttigieg both won 9 pledged delegates". Michelangelo1992 (talk) 01:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
