That’s what Tedisco gets for getting Sundwall off the ballot.

New York probably will never say how many votes Eric Sundwall received. Pennsylvania also didn’t count the 2006 ballots that had the Green Party US Senate candidates’s name on them (Carl Romanelli). It was the same situation; the early absentee votes had Romanelli’s name on them but the state kept that information to itself. That’s why the recent lawsuit filed in federal court in Pennsylvania, complaining about Pennsylvania’s failure to count and canvass write-ins, is so important. Write-ins aren’t exactly the same as ballots with a candidate’s name on them, but the principle is the same. All voters must be treated equally. All voters who cast a valid vote have a right to have their votes tallied. The U.S. Supreme Court said this almost 100 years ago.

On the absentee ballots that still had his name on them, how did the Libertarian Party candidate do?
