Roseanne Barr had more votes than American 3rd Position guy! Peace and Freedom in West Virginia yes!
Results for non-ballot qualified candidates? Where is this available?
The results are in the West Virginia Secretary of State’s certificate of ascertainment. The Secretary of State did not put it on her web page. It was e-mailed to me.
I’d be interested in seeing the full results, if only because I’m working on a database of election results and I’d like it to be as complete as possible.
Richard, do you know the write-in results for WV Gov and Senator?
#5, no, I didn’t ask, and now the office is closed.
Other write-in totals:
Santa Claus – 33
Robert Brown – 8
Cam Lemley – 3
Paul Chehade – 1
David Crosby – 1
John Dummett – 1
Dennis Knill – 1
Erin Kent Magee – 1
Rick Rogers – 1

Maryland, and almost all states that permit write-ins, only counts presidential write-ins for presidential candidates who filed a declaration of write-in candidacy. I presume there is someone somewhere who has changed his legal name to Santa Claus, and he must have filed for himself in Maryland and at least one other state (I forget which one now).
Ron Paul was not a candidate, so obviously he didn’t file. If people had been thinking ahead, and they wanted a tally of Ron Paul write-ins in most states, they should have found some other person named Ron Paul who would file as a declared write-in presidential candidate.
@11 Well if I was a betting man….
…yes, I’d take your money then.
Yes, there is a man named Santa Claus who filed as a write-in candidate in ’08 and ’12. The only thing I know about him is that he’s a prohibitionist.
That’s it. Who’s got a thousand bucks for me to go down to the courthouse and change my name to Ron Paul? I’ll do it!
Here is Santa Claus’s campaign website, apparently he withdrew late in the race and endorsed Jill Stein.

He had a pretty good platform….
“My political platform includes:
The ten key values of the Green Party platform (www.GP.org):
GRASSROOTS DEMOCRACY
SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
ECOLOGICAL WISDOM
NON-VIOLENCE
DECENTRALIZATION
COMMUNITY-BASED ECONOMICS AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE
FEMINISM AND GENDER EQUITY
RESPECT FOR DIVERSITY
PERSONAL AND GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY
FUTURE FOCUS AND SUSTAINABILITY
~ and ~
Parts of Ron Paul’s “Restore America” plan (RonPaul2012.com):
A TRUE BALANCED BUDGET IN YEAR 3
CUT ONE TRILLION DURING FIRST YEAR
RETURN MOST OTHER SPENDING TO 2006 LEVELS
ELIMINATE GOVERNMENT WASTE
ADDRESS FUTURE ENTITLEMENTS, TAXES, AND REGULATION
AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE”
Santa could’ve been a Mountain Party nominee.
Me and my gf were thinking about voting for Miller but since he did absolutely did not have a chance to win at all like Stein, Johnson, Anderson, and Goode did, we voted Goode. So we are proud to say that 2 of those 119 votes for Goode came from us.
How did Dr. Jill Stein and Green Party/mountain party do?
6,302 0.94% Johnson
4,406 0.66% Stein

Thank you
I wonder how many people voted for, for example, Virgil Goode and didn’t count. I guess we’ll never know.
Santa Claus is a children’s rights advocate and stood down prior to the election in favour of the Green nominee. Despite that he still beat the Prohibition Party candidate nationwide.
Ron Paul polled 0 votes since he didn’t register as a candidate. This isn’t Oklahoma or DC if a candidate wants his votes counted in West Virginia then they will be (though it may take a while)
@2
The Green Papers website has good info.
Yes I know I’m on Green Papers constantly, but when I posted that they did not have the info. Thank you to Richard Winger for emailing me!
Santa Claus is a monk from Incline Village, Nevada. Here is his website http://www.thesanta.im/
@24
Are you asking about Evan’s comment #20?
Just in general.
@12 — you are thinking about Montana.
Of course, no way to know if Evan was one of them.
