Write-Ins To Delay Vote Count

Item: Write can go wrong election night: Ballot counting expected to spill into early hours of Wednesday morning/Mike Patrick, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: "I hate to say but we are really in uncharted territory," County Clerk Dan English said Wednesday. "I know it [counting ballots] will be very lengthy and I expect into the early hours on Wednesday because the counting machines will stop each time there is a write-in ballot. That ballot will be removed to a write-in board of two people who will verify if it is a valid write-in."

Question: Do you plan to vote for a write-in this year?
