List of counties where I'm a registered candidate



Different states have different requirements for write-in candidates.   Some states count all write-in votes, while in other states write-in votes are not allowed.   Most states require some kind of registration in advance of the election.   And some require a filing fee as well.  

If you live in a place not listed and you intend to vote for me, send an email to "[email protected]" and I'll research what is required for your vote to count.   Then I'll update this page as appropriate.
