What would you do now ? Write-in Paul/Abstain/Gary Johnson/Romney/Obama ?

[WesSeid]

Gary through his own words has proven he doesn't know enough about the FED or economics.

Gary knows the three words that are all anyone needs to know about The Fed: "End the Fed."

In his Paul Fest speech, along with those three words he said how it's a rigged game and mentioned banks loaning money at 0% and buying treasuries.

Whatever GJ may have said in the past about The Fed, he's on board the End the Fed train now.

Gary would need a miracle to actually win, so even if someone doesn't agree with certain policies of his, I don't think it's a dealbreaker at all. The main thing is to get a third party in the debates and to show the masses that a third party can indeed have a chance in future elections. At least at this time, I don't think an RP write-in would accomplish that.

If more people had supported a "Gary Johnson" in 1984, Ron Paul might have had a chance in 1988.

i will vote for gary johnson , like said above some states don't even count rightin votes.

i honestly believe --- in a parliamentary type of goverment the goverment is afraid of the people , in a president type the people are afraid of the goverment .

at least with a parliamentary goverment ron paul / gary johnson could set up a coalition.

i am sick of our 2 party system , as there is not a nickle's difference between them ( harry truman ).

write-ins are useless ,will never be counted in colorado. 15% gets gary in national debates in polling which is way before nov 6th. everyone can write in mickey mouse nov 6th but support gary in polls to get 15% and in national debates. write-ins will count on ps3 sims though. write-ins are a waste of time unless you got ron paul certified legally in your state. the gop is laughing at this write in circle jerk ,make a vote count vote johnson or goode or someone on the god-damn ballot other then obamney.

polling and voting are 2 different things ,lie like romney supporters and say in polls your voting gary. then if you truly want to vote for whoever on nov 6th then vote but get gary in the debates is not having to vote on nov 6th for gary, answer poll calls ,hit the internets. gary on a national debate stage is a great way to hold the corrupt gop accountable. writing in ron paul might feel good but does nothing to move our movement forward. national debates gary is only 4-9% points from being in the debates period folks ,please think. polling and voting are 2 different options lie like romney folks.

Considering that the farce that was the GOP convention is now over, after they got the result they wanted.
What are the options now and which ones do you intend to do ?

Write-in Dr. Paul
Abstain
Vote GJ
Vote Rmoney
Vote Obummer.

For me the first three options are open, in that order.
Write-in would not be counted so wont make any difference or mark on anything,other than on my conscience.
Abstaining is the easiest and again wont change anything.
GJ as protest vote is an option, but when Romney loses, GOP might blame us Paul supporters for working against the GOP, thus giving them an excuse in the future against any Liberty candidate - not that they wont do anything to bring down any such candidate otherwise !!

Start calling Romney a Liberal and Johnson a Conservative.

 

[The Dude]

RON PAUL ISN'T RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. Use your vote for someone who actually is, Gary Johnson. If Johnson gets a large percentage the establishment will know it was the Ron Paul people that did it.

 

[parocks]

Right now im torn between a protest vote for Obama or write in Ron Paul. I'm so pissed at the RNC right now.

Do you think Obama could be a good President?

I'm not voting for someone who I don't think could be a good President.

write-ins, bottom line i would like someone to name a state that will actually count write-ins statewide and report them. i will be emailing sailingaway. he said 43 states do but that is not correct, since some counties might count them but if they are not certified then states will not bother tallying them or reporting them. please name a state that counts uncertifed write-ins and reports them. i will be calling their state election boards to certify. I am not buying thios 43 states count write-ins some will count primary write-ins but will not report write-ins unless they are certified to be on the ballot. please name one state that will tally and count uncertified write-ins state-wide.

A write-in candidate is a candidate in an election whose name does not appear on the ballot, but for whom voters may vote nonetheless by writing in the person's name. Some states and local jurisdictions allow a voter to affix a sticker with a write-in candidate's name on it to the ballot in lieu of actually writing in the candidate's name. Write-in candidacies are sometimes a result of a candidate being legally or procedurally ineligible to run under his or her own name or party. In some cases, write-in campaigns have been organized to support a candidate who is not personally involved in running; this may be a form of draft campaign.Write-in candidates rarely win, and votes are often cast for ineligible people or fictional characters. Some jurisdictions require write-in candidates be registered as official candidates before the election.[SUP][1][/SUP] This is standard in elections with a large pool of potential candidates, as there may be multiple candidates with the same name that could be written in.
Many states and municipalities allow for write-in votes in a partisan primary where no candidate is listed on the ballot to have the same functional effect as nominating petitions: for example, if there are no Reform Party members on the ballot for state general assembly and a candidate receives more than 200 write-in votes when the primary election is held (or the other number of signatures that were required for ballot access), the candidate will be placed on the ballot on that ballot line for the general election. In most places, this provision is in place for non-partisan elections as well.

I would like folks to list any states that actually count general election write-ins and count and tally them statewide if they are not certified on the ballot. I will then call the state elections board and 100% confirm if they are counting/talling them statewide for reported results. many states only count and tally them if they are primary votes and not certified or certified. We must get 100% that they will count uncertified write ins in a general if not. then it will be a waste. sailingaway said 43?plus states will count and tally uncertified write-ins statewide. i will find out if this is true so list the states all 43 if you can so i can call them all and make sure before folks blindly throw their vote away. challenge me list the states and i will call them all. colorado is not on the list.

kentucky ,Kentucky ballots have spaces for write-in candidates. But only people who have filed with the secretary of state's office and paid a $50 fee are eligible to have the write-in votes counted. check deadline might have passed but i am calling now,

ron paul is not on the kentucky ballot yet legally as a write-in , FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Three candidates have filed paperwork in Kentucky making them eligible to receive write-in votes in this fall's presidential race.Richard Duncan of Ohio, Louis Todd House of Kentucky and Barbara Ann Prokopich of Washington are now eligible to have any votes cast for them counted in Kentucky.
Their names actually don't appear on the ballots.
Kentucky ballots have spaces for write-in candidates. But only people who have filed with the secretary of state's office and paid a $50 fee are eligible to have the write-in votes counted.
Democratic President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney will be added to the Kentucky ballot after the national conventions. Some third-party candidates also are looking to be added to the ballot.

just left my number with mary sue? kentucky state elections. so far what i do know for kentucky is 50 dollar fee not sure if a deadline has passed yet,so there is kentucky, next state please list them i will call and certify them all and get the info that is needed. i just do not want folks wasting write-in votes that will not be counted. unless ron paul is certified with a 50 dollar fee and the deadline has not passed. a write-in in kentucky will not be counted period unless you pay the 50 dollar and fee and make the deadline if there is one !!!!

Do you think Obama could be a good President?

I'm not voting for someone who I don't think could be a good President.

what state is paul reveres from. many states will not bother counting uncertified candidates. a write-in will be a waste of time better off voting on sims ps3 unless your state counts uncertitifed write-ins.

 

[speciallyblend]

I would like some rpf members to list some states they say counts uncertitifed write-ins, it is not 43 states that is for sure ,please name states folks. i am calling now to certify if they count uncertified candidates. list your write-in states, gonna end the wastefullness now today and next few days if i have to call all state election boards.

 

[JK/SEA]

pa ,will count write-ins but they will only count them at statewide as scattered votes lumped in with other names, so no real count there. that is the bottom line so yes pa will alow write-in votes but will only count them statewide as scattered votes along with other names lumped in ,so no real count there. so in essence any write-in vote for ron paul in pa is pointless

ok this is not good but the whole idea for a write-in campaign is pointless,

here is kentucky if you want to be able to write in ron paul or gary,since gary is not on the ballot, kentucky 50 dollar fee only if ron paul files for write in oct26th for gary or ron paul only as a write-in, if you want ron paul on the ballotsept 7th 5000 sigs 4pm 500 dollar fee from ron paul himself.

bottom line pa,kentucky will not count them unless you have certified them and in kentucky ron paul will have to file,pa will only count them as scatterd vote, so writing in ron paul in kentucky or pa is a total waste of your time and resources.

I'm writing in Ron Paul because i'm pretty sure here in VA, they are *supposed* to count the votes. After seeing what kind of shit they pulled at the RNC though, I have no reason to believe the party *will* count the votes. They'll probably just lose it in the circular file.

 

[speciallyblend]

nobody seems to care their write-in vote will be useless. so far states that folks have said count uncertified write-ins do not actually. pa only counts them as scattered so you get lumped with rosanne barr. kentucky will not count write-ins for ron paul unless ron paul applies and pays 50 bucks. if you want your vote counted as scattered in pa more power to you. I will call cali now since alot of folks say cali counts uncertified votes. so far the write-in folks are 0 for 2 in my book please list the 41 other states that count uncertified write-ins.

i am calling now vb since i am from va beach myself. I want your vote to count so i want to get this figured out asap.

 

[rideurlightning]

I was going to write-in, but now that there is a viable third party candidate (GJ), why would I do that?

Edit: Actually reconsidering now lol I don't like what GJ is saying about foreign policy at all.

matt able from va will be calling me back to clarify uncertified write-in candidates and how we can get him on as a write-in or on ballot, usually on ballot deadline have passed but we will see about certified write-ins soon.

i hear ya, i am just trying to clarify the state rules so that folks understand a write-in will probably be a wasted vote but if it is not then ron paul voters will have an option. showing ron paulers a write in will never be tallied at state level will either be a eye opener or they are better off voting ron paul on sims ps3. i think clarify the write in rules state by state will help open up rp zombie eyes. i want votes to count ron paul or for gary but if folks think scattered votes in pa is not a wasted vote for ron paul against the corrupt gop. Then they might be hopeless. I am waiting to find one state that actually counts a uncertified vote for ron paul, yet to find one. many say cali so iam calling cali now waiting on va call back.
