I called the OP a troll and gave ‘1’ a single response stating I’d not reply to him/her further in this thread. That is my new policy, if I think a post is a troll, I’ll not engage in multiple responses. If any CR readers were offended by my response, I apologize and ask mechila.

Civics lesson time:
Voting rules vary by jurisdiction. I functioned as Asst Registrar of Voters in the 2018 elections. Here in CT a voter may only write in the name of a candidate who registered with the Secretary of the State as a ‘write in candidate’ one who failed to get a party nomination or enough signatures to petition his/her way onto the ballot with a name printed position.
Voters may not cast a vote for anyone else, including dead, non-citizen Stalin. This saves countless hours in tabulating votes at the end of the evening for non-legitimate names such as Mickey Mouse. It allowed out town to complete counts by 10:30 PM when it used to take until 2 or 3 am. Our rules require that all totals be read aloud in each polling place to the public and press before ballots and machines/tabulators can be transported to the Town Clerk’s office. Before this rule change, I remember an election where a group of 200 high school seniors all wrote in nonsense names for 20 positions. We were at the polling place until 4am,
