True, I live in Illinois, where Chicago will overwhelmingly vote for their "Favorite son" and it almost a guarantee that Obama will win his "home state". That being said, the alternatives on the Illinois ballot besides Romney are: A) pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-gay marriage Gary Johnson, who is running as a Libertarian because conservative GOP primary voters rejected him, and B)far-left environmental Marxist Green Party nominee Jill Stein Voting third party won't change anything, but an Illinois conservative voting third party doesn't make sense. Both of the choices available in this state are WORSE than Romney.

I looked at Virgil Goode's Web site.

It is true that SOME states are NOT accommodating to "write-in" ballots re: specific candidates.

Illinois is NOT one of those unaccommodating states. If you live in either Illinois or Maryland, per Virgil Goode's Web site, the voter oversight recorders will readily tally those write-in votes!

Me, my whole family, and many of neighbors cast write-in votes for a local office on the Illinois ballot a few years back. The candidate was an authorized write-in candidate that had filed paperwork with the county board of elections and his name was duly accepted and qualified. On election day, the final vote totals showed he received "0" votes in my pct.

That's because those write-in votes on paper ballot mean nothing if the election judges don't do their jobs and manually record them.
