How much will Bob Kuntz's Hillary write-ins affect the primaries?
He said she knows about the movement to write her in on the primary ballots. I believe he said she got over 700 in one state primary recently, did not catch the name of the state. He expects her to get a lot in WI.
Heard this on Hannity. No link yet.

1. Not at all.
There will not be a significant enough amount of write-in votes to effect things one way or the other.

2. I hope you are right.
Kuntz has a pretty faithful following in some areas. I hope you are right.

Bob Kuntz, look him up. What are talking about?

Here is a link I found. I saw him on Hannity talking about his Hilary Now project.

5. She got one in our precinct on Tuesday.
A woman came in and wanted a paper ballot for a write-in candidate.

Someone else told her they didn't think she could do that and called me over because I was the election officer. I told her she was entitled to vote for whomever she wanted, even if that person wasn't on the ballot. I got her a paper ballot, showed her where to write in her candidate, and she left happy.

It was the only write-in we had (out of 300+ votes) so when the votes were counted it was obvious who had done it. Fortunately, I don't know the woman and can't really remember what she looked like.

Anyway, I thought "Good for her!"

6. Hillary got about
100 write-ins in NH, which isn't much for a state that has a tradition of write-ins.

Actually the people that seemed most obsessed with Hillary for Prez are the Repubs (I know, it's shocking) as this fine two part article by Timothy Noah explains:

Part 1

Part 2
