We have a career politician termed out of the state legislature who is running unopposed for county board. Can't stand him. So, I wrote in something like: "Anybody who isn't a drunk like Lee Constantine". Felt pretty damn good about it too.

How do the write in votes get read by the scanner? How would Bob Smith vs Robert Smith both be assured of counting?

I don't ever recall seeing a final vote count that included all of the names people wrote in. It would be interesting and likely entertaining.

Don't know. Presumably by human view and hand tally. Maybe the scanner reads something on a line and tabulates it. Then, if the number of write-ins is significant enough, they count those ballots by hand. Or, no write ins are ever read. Who knows. I just hoped it would make someone chuckle...

I will but feel i should wait till after the election to quote it but it is along the lines " Should our town be willing incur a debt of upto 360000 (20%) use as a match to accept a Federal grant of up to 1.8 Million dollars to built a Multi use thruway in our Apple Tree Alley cooridor". The fact is we would not accept the grant if we even had to spend 20000. , But i have a commitment from the DCNR for a Grant to pay the complete match. Then of course the people who have been iillegally using some of this property as extra space for there home and business have been all over the question a a ploy to defeat the project. When i wrote an article for our Borough newsletter to explain it the Bough manager called the Council President and they yanked without notice to me and i am on the commitee who writes the Newsletter. When i submitted a similar our local Newspaper they wrote me after there weekly came out stating the went to print early because of bad weather and could not get it inserted until after the election. We did have 3 Public meetings :where another Councilman opposed to the project becuase he doesn't care much about theses things did his best to undermine me . I do have the support of The Council of Churches, County Commissiners State Reps, Chamber of Commerce , Appalachian Trail Coservatory and many other groups but unless they vote it really doesn;t matter. Our Solictor says a referendum could not have just asked if you were in favor without attaching a monetary amount to the question. She used to be the City Planner for Charkestom SC and i think she knows her stuff. I was not in favor of a refferendum at all because at the time it was decided: at the request of the Council President: i did not have enough time to line up all the possible funding sources,,

We have looked at doing this project several times and actually spent over 45000 on the conceptual plan in 2004-2005l

I personally feel this was a conspiracy to kill it once and for all..

I am still prodding our county Board Of Elections for the lack of space allowed for write in votes. Just how the he!! can they expect anyone to write in William Frawley Schlerensauer In a 1 1/2 inch space?

I couldn't type it in that small an area...

I have been hired by the Right Wing Nazis to lay out cyanide laced Cheetos for the 47% to feast on.

Seems to be working.

Just finished up checking signs at both the precincts I am covering. Must have put up close to 50 more signs along the way nearby. Tomorrow, I will spend time at my precinct or the other one, which ever is busier. First thing in the morning, lunchtime and late afternoon/early evening is when the crowds will be the greatest. Gonna just sit there in a lawn char with a cold bottle of water at my feet, a nice cigar in my hand and a coupe of signs in the other! Who could ask for anything more?
