writing someone in on the slip? I mean, they say that voting for a third party would be wasting their vote, yet they want to waste it for real by writing someone in?
The only thing I can understand about it is maybe their fear of splitting the vote... So rather than risking splitting a vote, they want to write someone in...Even that doesn't make a lot of sense, because they are not doing anything to prevent the candidate they don't want from being elected...
I must admit, though, that I am still doing my research on Write-In Candidates, so please bare with me.
I see that these votes are countede many times, now... But write-ins seem to have as much or less of a chance than third parties, so why not just vote for a third party?
I don't think you can waste a vote, either, but I am just repeating what many have said about voting for a third party... I did think that writing-in would be wasting, though... But now seeing that it counts, it is in fact not wasted.
Go Libertarian!
