All you Freepers in Illinois should get out and write in Donald J Trump on the Democrat ticket! CHAOS!
Heh. That would be fun if he actually affected the outcome and Trump won the IL RAT primary as a write-in, but here's what will happen under Illinois election law:
The touchscreen machine will simply ignore the vote since the name doesn't match any of the names on the list of Qualified Write-In Candidates who filed a form to run as a write-in. The paper ballot machine will flag the vote and put it in a pile of ballots where voters cast write-in votes. The election judges check it at the end of the day and since the name "Donald J Trump" is not on the list of people who filed paperwork to run in a write-in campaign, they will also not the record the vote. The result will be that if the final numbers were 952-Donald J. Trump (write-in), 870-Joe Biden, 755-Bernie Sanders... the official tally reported by the pct. will be 870-Joe Biden, 755-Bernie Sanders, 0-Donald J. Trump.
Interesting trivia: In 2004, I tried to cast a write-in vote for Tom Tancredo in the GOP primary for President.
That makes little sense.
Votes to non registered write ins don’t even count. So you might as well write in “Dick Nixon” as Trump if all you want to do is mess with poll workers who might be risking their health to staff this election.
