MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- On the Democratic ticket Tuesday night, President Biden had a big lead. But a number of voters chose "uninstructed."
It's part of a movement to signal disapproval to the president over his handling of the war in Gaza.
There's a gathering of activists waiting to see just how many Wisconsinites voted "uninstructed."
Organizers are declaring victory Tuesday night, saying the number of votes cast for "uninstructed" was more than Joe Biden's margin of victory statewide in 2020 - sending a strong message.
The group is called Listen to Wisconsin, and they want American policy in Israel changed. They want an immediate ceasefire in the Israel Hamas war and an end to military aid to Israel.
"We know the heart of Wisconsinites, everyone here knows that anybody- no matter their background- deserves to be in safety, freedom and with dignity. And across the board, Wisconsinites believe that, and they turned out tonight to prove that to us," said Heba Mohammad, spokesperson with Listen to Wisconsin.
If "uninstructed" reaches a 15% threshold, they would get to send delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this year.
For now, organizers say they are not worried. They say they are celebrating because they feel seen.
