The city in question is not Buffalo, as you might think. It's actually >!Westbrook!< which I find to be hilarious because of course it is.

Remember when a whole bunch of people wanted to vote what was seemingly the guy from the Deez Nuts meme in as president?

Pepperidge Farms remembers. And so do I. It was one of the good things about the 2016 election.

Isn't the whole point of a write-in vote to (try to) elect someone who isn't a registered candidate?

>Votes cast for Josh Allen will be counted as blanks.

So, you admit that the city intends to discount legal write-in votes.

Do you want to directly undermine the integrity of every election your office has any role in counting ballots for? Because that's what you just did.

No, generally write-in candidates still need to be registered. If you just write in a random person it’s considered a spoiled ballot.

Hence the warning. Don’t throw away your whole vote for what is essentially a bad attempt at trolling.

Just look it up, the candidate you're writing in had to fill out a special form, the declaration of write-in candidacy. If this isn't filled out, the vote doesn't count.

>admit that the city intends to discount legal write-in votes.

See above. You're just wrong about write in voting.
