A question was ask by a reporter to a republican after Bushes visit on Oct 30th...if the write in would be a problem...he said OH COME ON WE'RE REPUBLICANS...we know what we're doing. ;o)
If I was still living in that district...and wasn't sure of the spelling...I'd write in S S-Gibbs...easy enough. No one would think my intent was anything other than Shelley Sekula-Gibbs.
I wrote it on my hand as we drove up to the voting booth, but getting the name corrrect was not hard because inside each voting booth is a paper with the write-in candidates names, and her name is on the ballet for the special election (the special election will cover the remaining month or two of the term). Working the wheel was easier than what I would have imagined--frankly, finding a parking space was harder than voting.

As a fellow "Texan By Choice" I appreciate the humorous optimism, but I'm enraged at the brazenly partisan tactics which are being employed in this election and others throughout the nation to intimidate, sabotage and discourage American citizens who simply want to exercise their right to vote. In this case, spelling the last name, G.I.B.B.S. should be more than sufficient, and there should have already been announcements to the public so stating.
As a matter of larger concern, it's way past time to start prosecuting and jailing some of these corrupt "election officials".
