Write-in ballot in MD

Ron Paul and his message is just NOW getting out to the masses. I saw a car in the grocery store parking lot the other day with a brand new Ron Paul bumper sticker. The owner was getting into the car so I swung over and took the liberty to tell him I liked the new bumper sticker. I asked him if he was writing Ron Paul in or voting Baldwin (and gave him a Ron Paul pen and a smile) He said and I quote, "Oh I'm writing him in - it counts here you know! Who's Baldwin?" (write-ins do in fact count in Rhode Island where I live) So that's what I'll be doing. I have to say I like Baldwin a lot too - for obvious reasons - but I really wasn't that impressed with him in the debate with Nader. So I luckily have the option of voting for EXACTLY the guy that has all the qualities that I'm looking for in a President. This is going to be THE BEST ELECTION DAY IN MY LIFE!!!!!

So, here is another state (in addition to PA) that does count write-in votes. Why doesn't everyone call their state election boards and see what the rules are for their state? I plan to do a follow-up call to our PA Board and our County Board to hear the write-in counts after the election. However, I understand it takes a few weeks to tally all the write-in votes.

It bothers me that everyone is saying that a write-in vote is a throw-away vote, and now I am learning that is not true. Let's learn the facts, folks!
