In addition to the two presidential write-in votes cast for "Brian Moore" in Mobile County, there is also a presidential write-in vote, on the same page from Mobile County, that's cast for "Moose Alexander." Being only one letter off, this is clearly a case of an election worker misreading the handwriting of a vote cast for "Moore Alexander" (Stewart Alexander was Moore's vice presidential running mate).

I figured that this would be a top county for Chuck Baldwin in the national scheme of things. However, Chuck Baldwin received an average 0.21% and 170 votes in Baldwin County. Nothing worse than Baldwin disloyalty! Chuck Baldwin, lives just across the border in Florida from “Baldwin County, Alabama”.

Oliver Hall wrote a letter to the DC Board of Elections and mentioned 3 precedents, including one (Kamins v DC from 1974) that specifically said write-ins for declared presidential candidates in November must be counted. The DC Board replied without even looking at the Kamins case. I hope Oliver Hall will write another letter to them tomorrow.
