Yes, I'll probably write him in one of those stupid judge elections.

Also before the inevitable "wow that's creepy/stupid" comments: wouldn't that be all the more reason to? Can't think of a better way to protest those stupid judicial elections with the incumbents running unopposed anyway for example than writing in a completely terrible joke candidate.

I agree on this one.

I might write in Bushie or Phil for like a Judge position or something if they're on the ballot this year.

Edit: there were no judges on the ballot, so no Atlas write-ins.

No, and he won't on BRTD's either.
Candidates for County, State, or Federal Office – A write-in candidate for county, state or federal office must file a written request for his or her votes to be counted with the filing officer for that office. This request must be filed no later than October 28, 2014 (the seventh day before the general election). (Minn. Stat. 204B.09, subd. 3(a))

I still wrote in "opebo" on the ballot. Whether that  vote is counted is a whole other matter.

Exactly.  Our good friend, memphis is the most binary human I've ever encountered.  It's either 0's or 1's......nothing else.

That's not what the question asked. If it were "Will you write in opebo on your ballot" that would be fine. Instead, it was will will opebo get a vote... He clearly will not.

A judgeship. There was about 50 on the ballot. Only three were not unopposed.

I also wrote in Guy Picciotto, Seth MacFarlane and the creator of Ingress.

opebo would generate some much needed excitement into American politics, so yes (if I had a vote).

Opebo's political beliefs would never win in America, but his style would probably win over the American people. Imagine a mainstream candidate calling his opponent "a dumb." He'd be a sensation overnight.

No, I wouldn't write him in, though the policy platform of guillotining the rich might work well in some places.
