Joe Biden was declared the winner of Minnesota’s Super Tuesday primary on Tuesday evening, but the "uncommitted" vote was the second-highest chosen option in the state.
With 98 percent of the vote counted by late Wednesday morning, Joe Biden had brought in over 171,000 votes, or 70.7 percent. "Uncommitted" brought in over 45,000 votes, or 18.9 percent, according to the Associated Press.
The results reflect a similar situation that occurred in Michigan in February, which saw over 100,000 Democrat voters casting their ballot against Biden.
A coalition of Muslim voters and progressive Democrats made a last-minute campaign to vote uncommitted in protest of Biden’s stance on Israel.
"Our goal is to get the president’s attention, and we are doing that," Asma Mohammad, an organizer of the effort, said at a watch party in Minneapolis, according to the New York Times.
