Bipartisan question (IRT write in votes)

I expect Haley will run ... and face Vance and others in the primaries. Not sure who the DNC will "hand pick" as their candidate.

It's definitely publicly available because I always think back to when they would announce the write ins for Mickey Mouse in the past

 

Pretty sure that they are. If you recall, in 2016 "Deez Nuts" finished 3rd in the popular vote for the presidential election.

Back in the day it was published in a thing called a “local newspaper.” In 1992 a strapping young Pug named Moo Goo the Magnificent received exactly one vote and won me a bunch of money from doubters when his name was listed in The Coalfield Progress.

My bad Al!

 

Historically, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Mickey Mouse have fared the best in presidential elections as write- in options.

 

Just a guess the write in votes would be tabulated but they would be meaningless and I'm not referring to the small number. When we vote in a presidential election we're not actually voting for the named candidate but to a slate of electors committed to the candidate. Unless there was a slate of electors committed to Nikki Haley the vote would be meaningless although I guess considering that the vote wouldn't matter anyway based on the extremely small number of votes for her it's perfectly valid as a protest. I'm assuming that when the state finishes counting the votes there is a category for "other" which would include your vote for Haley.

 

Dang, I should have written in Joe Walsh for prez …. the James Gang and Eagles Joe Walsh, not the guy that ran in 2020.

 

Moo Goo had 13 ready to go bruv (Virginia.) He was “prolific.” Did we formally register? We did not. I wasn’t feeling strong about his ability to draw 2.5M votes.

FTR, at work, we made a video and his main plank was “terrierism.” Gotta expel them all, they were ruining Couch Surfing for the rest of us with all their hustling and willingness to adapt.

Funny-not-funny how a 25 year-old joke is almost too spot-on.

 

You can find them at state/local gov sites. For example here is Tennessee.

write in votes are tabulated under “other” and it totaled .9%
