B.A.N. had already reported that Joseph Bishop-Henchman had obtained copies of Washington, D.C. presidential write-in ballots from November 2024, and had tabulated the results. The D.C. Board of Elections refused to tally these write-ins, even for declared write-in candidates.

Now a second individual has also obtained the ballots and counted them. He is Desmond Silveira, and his figures have been published in Medium, an on-line publishing platform. See his article here. He found slightly more write-ins than Bishop-Henchman had found. For the presidential candidates who were actually on the ballot in at least one other state, here are the Silveira totals: Jill Stein 2,259; Claudia De la Cruz 472; Cornel West 472; Chase Oliver 208; Peter Sonski 130; Shiva Ayyadurai 7; Randall Terry 5; Vermin Supreme 3.
