After going through so many states manually, I’ve decided that for me, there is no reason to consider voting as a write-in. Thus, the lack of interest in completing this endeavor. But, I did come across this link that lead me to this link where you can get information on all the state’s requirements for casting a write-in vote.

Didn’t you get any help from the Ron Paul campaign folks?
I will be writing him in if I can see him on the list of allowable write-ins, if for no other reason than as something for THEM to have to throw out.
I hope we get enough people to do it to fill a roll-off!

I wrote him in. I don’t care if he’s on the list of allowable write-ins or not. No way will I give my vote to the other socialists.

I have intended to write in Ron Paul for a while. I figured that we couldn’t just write in “Ron Paul”, as there are probably a number of people named Ron Paul out there. So I called my local count clerk (http://voterinfonet.com/)to see what information I needed to bring. Unfortunately, however, it sounds like my vote will be disregarded unless Ron Paul registered as a write-in candidate.
“The Clerk’s office will provide a list of eligible write-in candidates to each precinct on Election Day. This list enables election judges to determine which write-in candidates are running in their precinct. Only votes for eligible write-in candidates are counted.”
Moreover, he had to register as such in all 125 districts in Illinois.
This is ridiculous, and completely defeats the purpose of a write-in candidate…
I will probably still write in Ron Paul, as I want to show that I care and that I don’t like the party Candidates, but it is disheartening to know that it probably will not be counted.
here are a couple links:

He’s the only choice that will keep my integrity in one peice. I feel sorry for all of those who don’t even realize what they are doing to our country by voting for any other candidate.

I wrote him in, and indeed he was available to do so. I’m really curious to see the numbers, if the yeven report it
