California Write-in Bill Advances

March 16th, 2005

On March 15, the California Assembly Elections Committee passed AB 43 by a vote of 4-1. It says that if a voter write-ins in a candidate but forgets to “X” the box next to the write-in line, the write-in is still valid. However, elections officials need not tally such votes unless there is a recount.

    I’d like someone to count all those “votes not cast” from the California presidential ballot. I suspect Nader got a nicer chunk of the vote that wasn’t counted because of this rule.
