Not trying to be argumentative...
My reasoning is this. The other two main candidates were on the ballot. There were a lot of other names qualified as write-ins, but I think they were mainly there to add to the confusion. None of them other than Murky was projected to draw much support.
If a few of them got a few thousand votes, it would still be very easy for Murky to get the vast majority of the write-ins.
I agree that on a normal ballot, all names being listed, it would be impossible for someone to get 98% of the vote. But if we’re isolating this to just the write-ins, it could be very reasonable for a candidate to get almost every write-in vote, comparatively.
Maybe you or someone else can chime in and explain why I’m wrong. I might agree with you or them. At this point, I just don’t understand why you don’t think a popular write-in couldn’t get most of the write-ins.
There is just no way that only 2 percent of ballots would be spoiled, incorrectly completed, grossly misspelled, defective, or otherwise uncountable. That is just not within the margin of error, human error, for this kind of endeavor. Think about all the idiots in Florida who could not correctly complete a ballot in 2000 when we were new to this site. Sorry DO this level of accuracy is just not possible. Again, not saying Miller will win, not by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just that human error will not allow these kind of margins. It’s not possible.
