Write in Voting

[ElectionAtlas]

Generally speaking, most states have adopted the policy of counting write-in ballots only for registered write-in candidates.  These will typically be third party candidates that didn't make the ballot.  Florida has this rule.  If you wish to lodge a protest vote, I recommend against voting a write-in and instead voting for a third-party candidate.  Also, in Nevada, you have the option of choosing "None of these Candidates".
