I can sympathize with people who meant to vote a certain way, and want their votes to count accordingly. However, if I were going to vote for a write-in candidate, I would make sure that I knew how to write the name properly, before going to vote.

If people are just too damn lazy to follow the rules, why should they get special consideration?

And why the heck are the citizens paying for all the kids to go to school, and making literacy programs available to adults if not for times like now?

There's no excuse not to spell the name right on the ballot for heaven's sake.

This is exactly what happened with Zero. Our side had no idea how much GOTV we needed to compensate for Acorn and fraud and community organizin’, so Zero won it. We did not get a mulligan.

Murk’s village voters had no idea how much GOTV the Tea Party had, and under-showed-up, too. They got a mulligan.

Lesson learned: fine-tune the write-in vote at the federal level and everybody can have mulligans in every race.
