To: Bernie Sanders, Democratic Candidate
Bernie Sanders to submit Letters of Intent for Write-in Votes
Thirty-five states require that a write-in candidate must submit some form of affidavit and, sometimes, a filing fee at least one month before the election. In North Carolina, these candidates must circulate a petition. Then their names are posted on a list at the polling place, though not on the official ballot. All other write-in votes are tossed.
Why is this important?
With voter suppression, firewall issues, DNC chair issues, super delegate promises, and the media blackout all taken into consideration, Bernie Sanders should be far ahead of his opponent in the delegate count. He needs to know that we believe he is our only hope.
Our two-party system is failing the common American and Bernie Sanders is our only hope.
"Currently, 43 States allow Write-In Ballots for President of the United States.
States not allowing write-in ballots include; Arkansas, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota
Most States require a candidate to register, however; Vermont, Wyoming, Oregon, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Iowa, Delaware, and Alabama do not require registration."
