Write-In Ron Paul

April 7, 2008

Writes Joshua Reid: “With the travesty that we all just witnessed in the Republican primaries I was curious to why I had not seen a lot of people exclaiming for a Ron Paul Write-In on the ballot in November. I have talked to supporters out here in DC, and many of them are already planning to do so as well as myself.”

UPDATE from Fred Church: “The travesty of the Republican primaries is nothing compared to the wanton disregard many states have for write-in votes. Anyone that intends to write-in Ron Paul must very carefully check the applicable laws that determine what write-ins get counted and for whom. In my home state of California, write-ins are only counted for declared write-in candidates, and Dr. Paul would have to acquiesce to that kind of candidacy and form a slate of electors before a single vote for him is counted in in the Golden State. I don’t think any Revolutionary wants to see his vote within the ‘Scattered’ percentage the day after election day.”
