I have wrote in someone the last three presidential elections and finally others are starting the see the wisdom of it.
McCain 2008 - did not get my vote (wrote in Duncan Hunter)
Mitt Romney 2012 - did not get my vote (wrote in Roy Moore)
Donald J. Trump 2016 - did not get my vote (wrote in Cruz)
Looking back in time, I'm proud of my non-winning votes. I didn't pick a traitor once.
In my state, the write-in presidential vote isn't an option, alas, but "None of These Candidates"
is. I cast that vote proudly in 2008 (a year after I moved to Las Vegas), 2012, and 2016. My
only regret is that I couldn't have the write-in vote last November, and thus was I unable
to write in Groucho Marx, on two sound grounds:
a) He once said,
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and
misapplying the wrong solutions, a comment that shows more political wisdom than any-
thing coming from the mouth of any candidate or officeholder in my lifetime; and,
b) Artemus Ward's maxim that if we can't find a live manperson who amounts to anything,
by all means let us have a first class corpse. (And if the dead in Chicago can still vote, why
can't the living vote for the dead, who'd surely do far less damage to what remains of the
republic than the living have been doing?)
