Someone I know voted for Bugs Bunny

[PasadenaTrudy]

Yes, she wrote that in. Says she's not impressed by either candidate. *sigh* I tried, I really did. 🙄

1. There's always some. Some RWers will too though

[Buzz Clik]

2. The vote won't be counted.

If she looks at the final tally, her vote will be missing. She should have stayed home.

5. bugs bunny is a friend of mine...

I've known and loved him since I was a kid. He would make a great president. But, I wouldn't vote for him if he were on this ballot.

Unfortunately, Elmer J Fudd is. I couldn't take a chance he could be elected, no matter how slight. So evem if I weren't already a H supporter, I would still vote for her.

I know a lot of people have ingested the poison, even some liberal dems. They live in their smug worlds and are selfish enough to think this will ease their pain their preferred candidate wasn't on the ballot. In that respect, they are no better than trump. me, me, me.

You can't fix hateful selfishness, at least not completely. It will always come through

6. Why even bother to vote if you are going to write in Bugs Bunny? It won't count.

Just waste of her time and other people's time.

[PasadenaTrudy]

8. Exactly...

Kinda stupid.

9. The thing that stuck out to me from what you wrote was..

"she's not impressed by either candidate" so she gives the impression that she would vote for either a democrat or a republican.

Maybe she could have given some thought that to the fact that 43 men have already served as president and maybe it's time for us to have our first female president (and an overly qualified one at that) if party affiliation means so little to her.

Or is she one of those millennial females who say "we will see a woman president" without giving one thought or care for those of us who are too old and may never see one.

I've often thought of those millennial females and wondered if they have even once said to themselves "My grandmother, my mother, my aunt, etc. may not live long enough to see a female president. Are they just without empathy, are they just so self centered or do they just not give a shit about those of us who are getting old?

(My rant is over)

14. She's 54

Old enough to know better.

[NCTraveler]

10. You did your part.

[frazzled]

11. Yeah? Where did she write it in?

New Mexico doesn't allow write-in candidates for president. So she would not have a line on which to do it, and her ballot probably would have been spit out by the optical scan machine (which is what they use there) as spoiled if she just "wrote it in" somewhere on the page. I think she's joshing you.

Are write-in candidates for President of the United States allowed?

NM statute does not allow for write-in candidates for this office.

13. If she did write in, then her whole ballot is invalidated.

[PasadenaTrudy]

16. Hmmmm

Could be, could be...

[longship]

12. Obligatory response.

[PasadenaTrudy]

17. Ha!

She lives in ABQ so that's fitting!

[longship]

18. BTW, Bugs has it right. Always turn left at Albuquerque!

And the right turn at La Jolla, pronounced phonetically English, "Lah Joh-Lah". And make sure your tongue is planted firmly in cheek.

Love Mel Blanc!

15. Bugs Bunny is probably smarter then she is.

[jehop61]

19. Intellectual laziness

Sometimes we do need to choose between one or the other. She didn't take the time to thoroughly research and decide.
