Nearly 100,000 voters in Tuesday’s presidential preference election threw away their votes on Republican candidates who are no longer seeking their party’s nomination for president.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio took the lion’s share of the no-longer-a-candidate vote, with more than 70,600 Republican voters choosing him even though he had dropped out of the race on March 15. Many of those voters likely cast early by mail before Rubio had withdrawn from the race.
