- Ron Daniels got several thousand votes in Illinois and I doubt any of them
- knew his address. Those votes did officially count. He was a write-in
- candidate (he was not on the ballot in Illinois).
-
- What are the instructions for writing in candidates on the Illinois ballot?
- Maybe they use such a tactic to discourage people from using the
- write-in vote, though they count the vote even if you don't include the
- address? Or is the address only for local (municipal) offices and part of
- a local, not state, law?
