Ron Paul is an Official Write-In Candidate in CA, & ME & Other States (LIST)

Here:

During each election cycle, hundreds of thousands of ballots are not counted on Election Day. Elections officials have approximately one month to complete their extensive tallying and certification work (known as the official canvass). Most notably, voting by mail has increased significantly in recent years and many vote-by-mail ballots arrive on Election Day. In processing vote-by-mail ballots, elections officials must confirm each voter’s registration status, verify each voter’s signature on the vote-by-mail envelope, and ensure each person did not vote elsewhere in the same election.
Other ballots that are processed after Election Day include provisional ballots (processed similar to vote-by-mail ballots), and ballots that are damaged or cannot be machine-read and must be remade by elections officials.
State law requires county elections officials to report their final results to the Secretary of State by December 7. The Secretary of State then has until December 14 to certify the results of the election.
For the most up-to-date vote counts before the statewide certified results are published, contact a county elections office directly. http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_d.htm

In L.A. County it looks like only 74% of the ballots have been processed.
lacountyrrcc Update: 3,739 precincts reporting (74.88%). 1,836,821 ballots processed.

Oh yeah, who could forget the official "certification process" from the early Primaries.

Has there been any results posted anywhere showing how he did in any state that he was a certified write-in candidate? I am curious what % of the vote he got

If I were you, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Keep a low low expectation.

me too - it certainly would be something we really really should want to know.
 
Some of those may have been turned in before they confirmed RP as a write-in candidate. Based on exit polls, I'm expecting Maine to be one of the better states for Gary.

gj got 1.31% in maine
 
I emailed the LA County recorder elections division and they said they won't have write in votes up until November 30, but I recommend everyone in CA email their county recorder, elections division and ask, so they know people will be following up. I'm wondering if meetups would be interested in helping them count if necessary...
