bump to send by fax from county recorder to Sacramento, tomorrow...
I will ask. I am dealing with car trouble today, so it may be later, or tomorrow morning, though.
As I read it you (and I) were pledging to Ron Paul/Clyde Coulter in our vote as ELECTORS to the electoral college, should Ron win the state, not pledging how we would vote on our ballot. The form says 'As electors' when it speaks of being pledged.
but I hope we have 55 for Ron and Clyde Coulter in which case it won't be an issue.
Sigh...I really hope we get our electors in time...
what do you think SA? Can I write in Ron with confidence that it will be counted?
Have you seen this??? IS IT TRUE??

iF SO ...then its done RON PAUL IS OFFICIALLY ON THE BALLOT IN CA!!! ( AS A WRITE IN CANDIDATE)
That would be spectacular!!
I don't know if it is true, when I called yesterday the person I've spoken to before wasn't there and the guy who was just said they'd be counted up by the 26th when the candidates are certified. I emailed the SOS stating my position that if Ron had 55 electors no matter how many there were for the VPS, Ron should be certified, but I wasn't incredibly hopeful. There may possibly end up with two different sets of 55, one for ours (it is going to be close, either way) and this one. As long as my vote for Ron counts, however, this is fantastic!!!!
Why didn't they coordinate with you? I don't understand. It would have been less stressful for you and those that supported you with their pledges to know that there was another strong set of support, and coordination would have gotten the VP (the Judge) the same to ensure success.
I'm sure I remember bumping a post by you a few times and voting it up there on DP.
edit: At least your votes will be counted![]()
Unfortunately, we all found out the other efforts existed when ours had been underway a while. We had the most forms by far, from what I could tell, but everyone had issues of not being able to get them all redone by that point, I think. Regardless, I'd have felt awful if I hadn't at least tried, if he wasn't certified, and if he is certified, I am pleased my vote will be counted. At this point I was concerned it might just be in the 'none of the above' category.

I really appreciate what you did, even though I can't vote, but your effort and others will allow Ron's votes to be counted. I can't wait to see the result. Now there needs to be some spreading of the love out there so people know they can vote for their favorite candidate and it be counted. But, I'm still a bit jealous that mine won't be counted and you guys' will![]()
WE need to count all the 'other' vote in all the states.
No one will pay attention unless we spread the results, in any event.
Now we have to let people know in CA their vote for Ron Paul will be counted!
There are still some signs in my area for him on phone polls, I wonder if I can just add 'certified CA Write In candidate' on a neon sticker after Oct 26....
