The Vermont Secretary of State’s office says that Cynthia McKinney received 66 write-in votes for president. Vermont does not require presidential write-in candidates to file a declaration of candidacy, but in the past the office has not been willing to tally these write-ins. Instead that office has simply invited any member of the public who wants to know, to visit the office and examine the results from the town clerks. However, this year, the office did its own tally for McKinney. Since the office did its own tally, it is “official” and these votes will be included in publications that make a record of the national vote totals, such as Congressional Quarterly’s America Votes.
