The Ledger (NJ newspaper) is already probably type setting an endorsement for a Democrap WRITE-IN. It will probably go down in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest Write-In vote in the history of the country.

As I posted on another thread. The highest office won by a write in candidate was Strom Thurman (back in the 1930s or 40s). So it's been quite a while for something like this. Maybe it's time for it to occur again, but then again the more people you have voting the more mistakes that can/will be made. Which makes it harder to pull this sort of stunt off.

We had a large write-in vote in our town and the organizers pre-printed small stickers that were placed on the paper ballot machines and their use was upheld at the trial level of the court, but no appeal was taken any higher!

Of course, with electronic machines, the voter can't apply a sticker, but can stick it on a hand to ensure the correct spelling!
