West Virginia releases write-in votes

From Ballot Access News

On December 23, West Virginia released its write-in totals from last month’s election. None of the qualified write-in candidates for president in West Virginia were on the ballot in any state, except for Donald K. Allen (who was only on in Colorado). Allen got 4 write-ins in West Virginia. Bob Barr was not on the ballot in West Virginia, but he didn’t have write-in status in that state because he filed his write-in declaration one day too late.

Although the Constitution Party was on the ballot for president, it was not on for Governor. However, its candidate for Governor, Butch Paugh, polled 234 write-ins.

    Might want to keep an eye on this. The Constitution Party of WV is recieving copies of NOTARIZED reports from people in counties all over the state of specific and detailed complaints to the WVSOS surrounding write-in candidates on Nov 4.

    Some examples so far:
    – when asked about write-in choices, poll worker told voter that she should have already had her mind made up,
    – another poll worker told voter they he would have to go to the county court house to cast his write-in,
    – another poll worker told a voter that a certain candidate was running unopposed and that there were no other choices,
    – voter asked poll worker for the official write-in selection list while at voting machine and was told, NO, she could not leave the machine to look at it,
    – official lists posted behind open doors, so not in places where voters would see them while passing or waiting to vote,
    – one precinct had a half dozen printed copes loose on a table for voters to take – not taped to wall – and they then ran out of them,
    … You can all probably see where this is going.
