Has anyone checked out 'write in' votes? This is what I found!?

I admire many of R Paul's stand on issues. I thought this was very interesting.. and possibly not really well known information I thought I'd share.

A Write-In Campaign for Ron Paul? No

Posted by Lew Rockwell at June 16, 2008 03:47 PM

Here is what Ron says: "I don’t think that’s very productive. Supporters can do it, of course, but in most of the states it won’t count. And if they can change the rules in a primary and not count all the votes, imagine what they could do with write-in votes!"

2008 Presidential Election Write-In Rules

Rule 1 - Write-in votes will not be counted if the candidate does not file as a write-in candidate.

Rule 2 - Write-in candidates are not allowed in presidential elections.

Rule 3 - A candidate losing the primary cannot file as a write-in candidate in the general election.
