Are you telling me you can't write in a name in your state? This is a legit question I'm not being sarcastic. I thought you could write people in on all ballots. Now whether they count or not is another story... but was there no option to write in Jill's name?

Refusing to pick between options you all find repulsive makes you a pawn? As opposed to voting for someone just because you find them the least reprehensible?
You don't think that maybe the reason we find ourselves in a shit-show every four years is that the people have been convinced that lowering their standards makes them a better citizen?

Again... why do you have to vote for the main people? Who is saying you have to vote for Trump or Clinton?

So no vote at all? Or just not for president?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

No vote at all, plus when Sanders dropped out I never re registered.
Then that makes you a dumb shit.

Not in my state, it was only Hillary, Donald , and Gary or none of the above.
I apologize then. I thought you could write names in regardless. I can understand why you would say none of the above. I was always told about how people all over the country were writing in crazy names for the hell of it. I knew that Jill wasn't on the ballot but I thought you could still write here in. If you don't mind my asking, which state are you in?
