Two suggestions
[edit]Having just Joe Biden in the infobox suggests he ran opposed, which he obviously did not. My compromise proposal is a "other candidates" section that would look like this:

Second, I think a sentence should be inserted discussing the uniquely low turnout in the election. Something like
Notably, only 4% of registered South Carolina voters, 131,000 people, turned out for the Democratic primary. That marks a significant decrease from 2020 when 16% of voters, 540,000 people, turned out for the primary.[1][2] Esolo5002 (talk) 23:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think having only Joe Biden in the infobox suggests he was unopposed, since the percentage of his vote is less than 100%. I don't support "Other candidates" as it implies they are united like in a coalition against Biden. Onetwothreeip (talk) 02:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Esolo5002 as I have asked, please please take discussion of this matter the MAIN talk page for the 2024 election. With more than 109 state caucuses and primaries set to occur (counting both major parties), it would be exhausting to do this piecemeal for each of those contests.

- "Uniquely low turnout" is a misrepresentation of what happened. A sentence or section could be included for turnout, but this is normal for a primary with an incumbent president where both primary challengers basically didn't do any campaigning here. ~Politicdude (About me, talk, contribs) 15:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Agree we the low turnout statement. Not putting it will be disinformation. 2603:8001:9C01:F781:D8AA:B72D:AC97:422D (talk) 01:42, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
