Infighting and factionalism is also happening in the two major parties, even though both are in denial.

“Please stop the infighting and factionalism. —–

I mean look how widely successful [NOT!] it has been for the [so called] reform movement! P1992 almost 20% Perot, P2008 a TOTAL of almost 500 votes!

If I decide to vote next year, I’m going to write-in “Invader Zim” for governor. Ha.

Quite often, write-in votes do not get reported or counted in Pennsylvania. That makes it difficult when you do not have statewide ballot access to gauge support of write-in candidates.

When I have done recanvassing/recounting in Suffolk County (several years ago) I actually saw things like: “Peace” “Capitalism Sucks” etc.

The one that got “us” coverage in the newspaper (of course, not with our names or associations) was when our friend Wendy wrote in “Minnie The Cat” the same year that Giuliani was a write-in. So, Minnie got in the daily newspaper in a story about Giuliani and other write-ins.

Back in November, someone wrote in Charlie Emanuel (the Phillies’ manager) at a precinct near me and there were a bunch of writeins for Hillary and Ron Paul.

The Dover Area School District votes are telling due to the court ruling against intelligent design a few years back.

I recall seeing some write-in votes from my county not long ago where Mickey Mouse got three votes, although all were spelled differently. None of them were reported, of course.

Looks like there was some kind of cat coalition in Hallam…

As a write-in candidate in 2008 that qualified for the printed ballot for congress this is cheering news.
