Wow, that sort of defeats the purpose of a write in candidate. Judge Harry would never be able to write in Mel Torme in Illinois.
When I moved from the city to the country, the ladies at the polling place almost had a heart attack when I said I needed to write someone in. *LOL* I think I was the first person she’d ever come across who wrote in someone.
A few years ago , The Illinois Dems were almost destroyed by the Lyndon Larouche craowd.
And the Pubbies make spot of trying to keep all libertarians off the ballot.
So my hunch is, all the big boys put their scummy heads together!!!
