The big question on many people’s minds….Vermont is supposed to have a write in selection on the ballot.
Is this a true statement and will we be able to use it?
Yes. It has been verified with the Secretary of State office. The group Vote the Block and Denyem279 has verified this. There are people canvassing and phone banking to write Bernie in. Vermont is a winner take all state and it has 3 Electoral votes. Those electors are bound to cast those votes for the winner. There are no requirements in Vermont for someone to be a candidate and you do not need the “write in’s permission. Please consider writing in Bernie!
Bernie!
Bernie himself is putting his full suport behind Hillary. If you want to support Bernie, vote as he has asked. Any other vote is one less for Hillary and in these times, that’s a dangerous place for us all to be. Bernie has much more chance with Hillary than with Trump of promoting his policies. That is the miserable truth of a two party system and we are not going to change it by tossing in a write-in vote here or there. That said, big thumbs up for exercising your right to vote HOWEVER you vote! It is a precious right we should never take for granted.
