What do 100 thousand votes without commitment mean?

Listen to this note:

 

In the Michigan primary elections, more than 100 thousand votes appeared without commitment or for anyone, with which the Arab people rang the alert bell to tell President Joseph Biden that they will not continue to tolerate his disdain for the genocide of the Palestinian people. hands of the far-right Israeli government.

Biden won the primaries with 81 percent in Michigan, however 13.3 percent, or more than 100,000 votes, is a brutal number in that state since, in the last presidential election, Biden beat Republican Donald Trump by only 154 1,188 votes.

The Arab community took this as a strategy and, instead of not showing up to vote and remaining invisible, cast votes without obligation as a protest to make the importance of their vote known. 

It will be interesting to see if this dynamic spreads to the following primaries, and if it will cause a reaction in President Biden's activity.
