Ummm, no one is available as a write-in. You just write the guy's name in.I would consider Evan McMullin if I could vote for him in NY, but he's not even available as a write-in here.
many states only allow write-ins if the person has registered with the SOS. I think Kentucky has about 40 candidates - most from outside the state - who registered with the SOS.Ummm, no one is available as a write-in. You just write the guy's name in.
I'm in MA. You can fill in the oval for "Write In" candidate, and write the person's name in. Funny, just now I read an article on write-in voting in MA - the vote might just be counted as "Other", unless the candidate has filled out the paperwork to get their votes tallied. (Which means the clerk still has to read every name written in under the Write-Ins.) I read that in some states, their is no provison for a write-in at all. That sucks.many states only allow write-ins if the person has registered with the SOS. I think Kentucky has about 40 candidates - most from outside the state - who registered with the SOS.
not in all states.....better check your laws.Del Griffith said:Ummm, no one is available as a write-in. You just write the guy's name in.
Similar here. I lean right fiscally, bit left on many social issues. Libertarian has appeal to me...though, Johnson has disappointed this go around. There is no way in good conscience that I could have voted for Trump or Clinton. And yeah, Trump will likely plow through TN pretty easily as it is.Gary Johnson. I'm in a solidly red state tho, so my vote will be like pissing into the wind.
I just want the Libertarian party to get 5% nationwide so they get some Federal funding. Also just to send a middle finger to both the Democratic and Republican parties.
I started with this thought and plan. Then Gary sounded like an idiot too many times and I got mad about that. Then Trump further revealed himself to be the maniac that he is and motivated me to vote for Hillary so that this man receives the biggest beat down possible. Mind you, I don't think Hillary is some wonderful candidate, but Trump is so grotesque that I feel he should lose as badly as possible.Gary Johnson.

I don't mind you casting a vote for Gary Johnson, of course, but have you considered Evan McMullin? Not my cup of tea but if you're a "conservative" rather than a "libertarian" he could be a better candidate for you. He seems like a pretty respectable guy.Chadstroma said:This is not an election of the "pick the least worst of the two from the major parties" like it normally is. Each of the major party candidates have shown beyond any reasonable doubt that they are disqualified for holding the highest office in the nation. Heck, they are disqualified for holding the office of dog catcher in a small town of 3 people in my opinion.
I am a life long Republican. I have voted Republican for a good 90% of the candidates in all offices since I could start voting. I have never voted for a President that was not a Republican. Until now.
Though I am NOT a libertarian in any way and have some significant issues with the Libertarian party. Gary Johnson is the only sane, moral and reasonable vote in this election.
This is pretty much my cycle too expect I've come full circle and back to Johnson. I had planned on holding my nose and voting for Clinton but she's almost as undesirable as Trump. The only thing that was keeping me from voting Johnson at that point was the "wasting my vote" feeling. I needed something ANYTHING to latch onto to keep from voting for either of the lead idiots. The 5% of the votes to put an end to the two-party circus allowing Libertarian candidates equal federal funding is enough for me.I started with this thought and plan. Then Gary sounded like an idiot too many times and I got mad about that.

He's not on the ballot in Oklahoma, but if he was he probably would have gotten my vote. Sticking w/ Johnson since he's on the ballot.The Commish said:So, talk to me about Evan McMullin
Shockingly he's an option on the ballot here in SC. Reading, I don't get a ton of detail, but I like a good bit of what I have been able to read.
This, although it's looking less and less likely that we see 5%.Gary Johnson. He and I share the same basic philosophy on government.
I've never not voted Libertarian at the top of the ticket. Trump is historically awful, so if there was ever a cycle when I might have considered voting Democrat, this one was it. But Johnson has a real chance to crack the 5% threshold that the party needs to qualify for federal matching funds, and there's just no way I can pull the level for Hillary Clinton. If Obama was running for a third term, I would be deeply conflicted on how to vote.

As long as she divorces Donald first. The thought of his tiny hands grabbing at those hooters really bothers me.I might write in Ivanka Trump. Her hooters really impress me.
