WessonOil, where on earth do you come up with this stuff? I hope you are employed in a creative field because you are nothing if not creative.
Writing in a candidate or "N/A" for a candidate, president for example, on a multiple issue / candidate ballot does not "nullify(ing) an entire ballot".
It will technically nullify "that line" on the ballot since it will not be counted as a result of OK's archaic election statutes, but the rest of the ballot will be counted just the same as if you had left "that line" on the ballot blank.
Just because your uncle's brother's sister-in-law's niece who had a great aunt that worked for the election commission told you so, doesn't make it so.
Don't take my word for it, contact the election board for yourself: [email protected]
A write-in on an OK ballot is a vote in protest of the status-quo which is responsible for the current state of affairs. If you wish to continue to fight in favor of the status-quo that is your right.
I choose to fight for something better. I may not know much, but I know that continuing to do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results is INSANE.
I know if everybody continues to "check the box" on the OK ballot there will forever and always be only two boxes to check.
Take this as a sign - It is time to broaden your reading base. Perhaps doing so would help avoid factual errors like the "ballot nullification" proclamation above. The world is full of information you won't find "gun magazines" alone.
Well, once again, all your posturing and fairy tale land view of the world doesn't cover up the fact that you're asking every non-Democrat in Oklahoma to at least void the line for the presidential candidate.
Oklahoma would them become a Blue State,and put us farther behind.
Smooth move.
I'm pretty sure that even if I was to subscribe to a stack of magazines that none of them would be covering local Oklahoma laws for filing out ballots.
In fact, you yourself referenced a website on the internet rather than reference a magazine.
The information wasn't on their website, so I called the Oklahoma Election Board just now, bright and early.
If I had written in the presidential candidate of my choice, she said the ballot machine would have kicked it back out to me and told me which line I had made an error on.
In this case, the line for President.
I would then have the option of getting a new ballot and filling it out correctly, or nullifying my entire ballot, as it won't accept it.
This came from customer service at the OEB.
Sounds like the information you got from a friend of a friend's friend is wrong.
Anyway, me thinks you either voted for McCain and Romney, or you didn't vote at all, since the polling machine didn't kick your ballot back.
