On February 23, the California Secretary of State released the list of declared write-in candidates for the March 5 primary.
Here is the list for the congressional and legislative races. No one who is a member of any of the ballot-qualified minor parties filed. That means that in November 2024, among all the congressional and legislative races, there will be only one member of a ballot-qualified minor party on the ballot, because there is only one race in which a minor party member is one of two candidates running in the primary. That is an American Independent Party member running for Assembly in the Ninth District, Tami Nobriga. It is true there are two Democratic write-in candidates running in the Assembly rce, 9th district, primary, but it would be very surprising if either one of them can out-poll Tami Nobriga, because she is on the ballot. Ever since the top-two system went into effect in 2011, there are no instances at which a primary write-in candidate qualified for the November election if there were two or more candidates whomse names were printed on the primary ballot.
Any person who qualified as a declared write-in candidate in the 22nd Assembly district could have qualified for the general election, because only one person is on the primary ballot and no one filed as a declared write-in candidate in that district.
For the presidential primary, here is the list of declared write-in candidates. They include three Greens (Davi, Matthew Pruden, and Jorge Zavala); one Libertarian, Chase Oliver; and one AIP candidate, Andrew George Rummel.
Davi has no last name? Would fit in well with the trolls here.
Jeez Stock give the trolling a rest.
Show me on the doll where Stock, whoever that is, touched you, “stop” trolling.
There are individuals in the U.S. who have one-word names.
Stock, get some rest. I need you to clean all of the toilets in unoccupied toilets tonight.
Richard Winger is right. I’m one of them. And let me tell you, it makes life harder! Just the other day I got a letter from the Social Security Administration that they would stop sending me checks because I died. I called them, and they said I’d have to go through a process to prove I’m still alive.
I guess one of the other Andys who also has no last name must have died. What gives? I doubt they had the same dob as I do, and I know for a fact they don’t have the same address.
To give you another example, I tried to comment here one other time, and somebody else named Andy with no last name insisted vociferously I’m not them, even though I never said I was. I thought I’d become Andy II just so people wouldn’t get confused. But then it turned out there was also an Andy Too here, so that only added to the confusion.
I run into stuff like this all the time! It almost makes me wish my parents had a last name sometimes.
That Andy is an imposter! I am the real Andy.
Stock haunts my dreams at night. I always get the feeling he’s right behind me whenever I’m alone. My doctor keeps giving me new medications which are supposed to help, but none of them are working! I don’t know what to do!
LATE WINTER TROLLS IN THEIR CAVE HOLES HAVING LACK OF LIGHT PROBLEMS ???
GET SOME SUNLAMPS ???
I’m no less real than the other no last name Andy. I’m sure he can attest to all the difficulty it causes.
Many people take things like getting an ID, sending a money transfer, getting on a plane, buying a gun, registering to vote, showing up to vote, etc for granted. Let me tell you – having no last name makes all these things way more difficult!
Even something as routine as booking a medical appointment can become a real headache, because the computer system isn’t set up to handle the possibility that a person can have only one name rather than two or more, and the people entering the data – if there even are any, which is increasingly not the case – don’t know how to handle that.
I suppose some smartass will tell me to go to the courthouse and get myself a last name. Well, you try to deal with the legal system yourself with just one name before you go telling me what I should do.
ADD A LETTER ???
CANDY
DANDY
MANDY
SANDY ???
Hearing about other people’s problems doesn’t really do anything to help with mine. I’m afraid to go to sleep or even so much as use the toilet or shower alone. Medication is not helping. Nothing is helping!
