Arizona requires write in candidates for federal office in the general election to file a “federal nomination paper”. The deadline was September 29th.
If John McCain writes in the name of an invalid candidate, like his faggy little friend, he will do nothing but create a headache for the poll workers. I know this because in Illinois (where write ins must register) I wrote in “Dick Nixon” for Chicago City Treasurer in 2003.
” I wrote in “Dick Nixon” for Chicago City Treasurer in 2003.”
Pic or BS.
In the 2002 congressional primary, in the 10th District, I wrote Gilda Torres (then-chairman of the Waukegan Township Republican Party), and I voted for her. Mark Kirk was unopposed, and I didn’t want to vote for him.
write in Lindsey Graham for US Senate in AZ
I cast one non-valid write-in vote before I knew I better: in 2004, Bush was running unopposed for re-nomination, so I wrote in Tom Tancredo. After I learned the non-valid write-in votes get tossed, the only write-ins I cast these days are for legally binding write-ins like Randy Stufflebeam for Governor in 2010.
A couple of GOP congressmen are on the NeverTrump bandwagon and announcing they are casting non-valid write-in votes, probably because the third party candidates they CAN cast votes for all suck. Otherwise, a handful of NeverTrumpers have said they’re voting for Gary Johnson (Glenn Beck says he’s voting for Castle, but he’s not an elected official) and the rest simply didn’t about how they’ll vote.
As for the rest, here’s the tally I have so far:
Kelly Ayotte (writing-in Mike Pence)
Cory Gardner (writing-in Mike Pence)
Mark Kirk (writing-in Colin Powell)
Dan Sullivan (writing-in Mike Pence)
Jaime Herrera Beutler (writing-in Paul Ryan)
Frank LoBiondo (writing-in Mike Pence)
David Durenberger, Minnesota (endorsed Hillary Clinton)
Slade Gorton, Washington (endorsed Evan McMullin)
Gordon J. Humphrey (endorsed Hillary Clinton)
John Warner(endorsed Hillary Clinton)
Scott Rigell (endorsed Gary Johnson)
Sherwood Boehlert (endorsed Hillary Clinton)
Tom Campbell (endorsed Gary Johnson)
Jim Kolbe (endorsed Gary Johnson)
Connie Morella, Maryland (endorsed Hillary Clinton)
Claudine Schneider (endorsed Hillary Clinton)
Chris Shays (endorsed Hillary Clinton)
Dick Zimmer (endorsed Gary Johnson)
Shays, Morella, Boehlert don’t surprise me at all. They routinely support RATs and should have all admitted they were Democrats years ago instead of keeping up this ‘moderate Republican’ facade. Warner doesn’t surprise me much either, but Gordon Humphrey seems to have lost his mind if he’s backing the Hilderbeast.
