    Do we have any real vote totals for either of these candidates?

    i think write in should be abolished and simply replaced with re-open nominations if this won a new election would be called and new candidates aloud to enter. confusion over who the write in candidates are and the fact that the write in votes wont be looked at unless there is more of them than the winner confirms this to me.
