I was sifting through my email today and found this pre-flood data I had intended to post after the June primary election….
Did you ever vote for a write-in candidate and wonder what happened to your write-in vote? I can tell you that your write-in vote is always counted, but showing you this data may convince you.
The table below accounts for the write-in votes in the races receiving the highest number of write-in votes. Why does this matter? If Mickey Mouse, who received one vote (see below), would have received a total of 134 votes for County Auditor on the Republican ballot, then Mickey Mouse could have become the Republican Party’s nominee for County Auditor assuming he/she was fully qualified and he/she completed an Affidavit of Candidacy.
My job is NOT to determine whether these write-in candidates are real or imagined – serious or humorous. My job is to count the votes … which is what we did.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
