In a nutshell: more people wrote-in Frye's name than the margin of Murphy's "victory" in this year's San Diego Mayoral race. However, thousands of them didn't fill in the bubble when they write in Frye's name.

Frye is a Democrat backed by union money. New City Attorney Mike Aguirre is a Democrat.

Court cases have already occured over this race because the City Clerk violated the City Charter and allowed Frye as a write-in candidate in a run-off election. The 4th Circuit decided rights were lost because a challenge did not come before the election. Even still, a MAJORITY, not a plurality is required by the charter. That has been ignored and Murphy, who got 34% of "legal" votes was sworn in for a second term.

Clearly, this isn't over yet. So either we'll get a failed RINO mayor (backed by the County GOP) who lost about 2/3rd of the votes cast or we'll get a union-backed Democrat who stayed out of the Primary and leaped into the General about a week before absentee/early voting began.

Does this mean that all the votes that did not have a write in name and no bubble filled in were really a vote for one of the two names on the ballot?

One problem in cities like San Diego is the huge student population. Student's are allowed to vote in the locale where they attend college, rather than at their actual home residence. This gives a tremendous advantage to left wing candidates.
