MODERATORS
Write-ins are counted just like any other candidate on the ballot so long as the candidate is eligible for write-in. Stupid country stupid electoral process but that is the way it is.
In many states you have to be an official write-in candidate. Then you have to make sure you follow the rules on what to write. I had to ask my registrar office for a list of official write-ins because I could not find them posted online.
Some states the whole ballot is void of you enter someone in the write in section who shouldn't be there. So that's your down ballot and ballot questions rejected too.
Thankfully in my state they machine count all the selections and flag the write in for hand count so you don't invalidate the whole ballot.
Lmao democracy
depends on the race and state. NYC municipal elections count every write-in for example, and keep a public record of those results.
Yeah I think Shane Gillis got a write in or two in NYC last election.
I checked and Matt Christman got 1 vote in the last mayoral election, which is incredible considering he had moved to LA by that point.
A couple that shopped at the store I used to work at wrote me in after Bernie got ratfucked lol
I didn't know you're running, but you have my vote
