The Florida legislature has adjourned for this year, but it will meet in 2020. Gary Koniz, a Florida activist who is interested in the write-in process, has found legislators who say they will introduce a bill in 2020 that will help write-in candidates. The proposed bill would provide that the names of declared write-in candidates would be available at the polls, and would also be included in materials associated with sample ballots.
The sponsors are State Senator Aaron Bean and Representative Jason Fischer.
California and Texas are examples of states in which the names of declared write-in candidates are available at the polls.
Obviously the deadline date will have to be a bit early —
ballots for overseas troopers fighting barbarians.
How about a zillion declared write-ins if a major incumbent hack passes away, etc. ???
Easy way to get attention for ego freak candidates ???
In Texas, names of write-in candidates are in each voting booth. Texas requires a filing fee for write-in candidates other than President. It also requires that the conditions for mail ballots be equivalent to those for in-person candidates to the extent feasible. Surely a sheet with names of write-in candidates is feasible.
Filing fess – See 1974 Bullock.
Filing fees
Any States having ONLY internet lists of declared write-in folks ???
— One more election class of stuff.
