Can someone explain what official write in status means?
Lots of states have laws that say write-in votes don't count if they're for some rando like Mickey Mouse or Zombie Lenin. You have to have an "official write-in candidate" who has filled out paperwork and been recognized by the state.
Your vote counts! If it's for one of the people we allow to run!
We can't let you be irresponsible and vote for a candidate that supports something that ~70% of the population wants.
populism!
