This year, Georgia and Ohio ballots have presidential candidates on them, for whom votes will not be counted. This has never happened before in any state in the United States. In Georgia, after the ballots were printed, the State Supreme Court said the petitions for Claudia De la Cruz and Cornel West were invalid. In Ohio, after the ballots were printed, the Secretary of State said Jill Stein had accidentally withdrawn. So, in both states, voters will see names on the ballot but if they vote for those names, their vote won’t be counted.
The Oconee County, South Carolina sample ballot has a write-in line for president, even though state law says write-ins are not allowed in the general election for president. See the ballot here. UPDATE: commenter is correct. This is a Georgia ballot, not a South Carolina ballot. Both states have an Oconee County.
Guam votes for president, even though it has no electoral votes. Polls close in Guam at 8 p.m. local time, which is 5 a.m. in the eastern U.S. time zone. The votes are counted quickly and the results should be known throughout the United States in the morning of Election Day.
The presidential candidates on the ballot are the nominees of the Democratic, Republican, Green, American Solidarity, Prohibition, Socialist Parties, and independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Guam has always voted for the winner except in 1980 and 2016.
The New York Working Families Party has made fewer nominations for Congress and state legislature this year than ever since it first became a qualified party. It qualified as a party in November 1998.
This year it only made nominations in twelve U.S. House seats (the state has 26 seats). This is the fewest ever, in the years in which it was a qualified party. All its U.S. House nominations are for the Democratic Party’s nominee except in one seat, where it has its own nominee. However, in that case, the party leadership would rather have nominated the Democrat, but an outsider won the party’s primary.
The party made nominations for 27 U.S. House seats in 2008, when New York had 29 seats.
For the legislature, this year the party made a nomination in only 94 seats. New York has 213 seats up. The party was most active with legislative nominations in 2018 and 2010. In those years, it had 146 legislative nominations.
For Justice of the Supreme Court, the party only made four nominations, out of36 seats up this year.
