When the election comes, I want to vote for Ron Paul.

Some friends say he's not in the running anymore. But I know that's not correct... or whatever... whatever it is I know I should be able to vote for him.

But, will I have to do a write-in thingy? Or will his name appear on one of the buttons on the machine? How does it work exactly?

I'll be voting in Bergen County, NJ.
Or possibly Monmouth County, NJ

If your state allows a write in option, you will probably have to go that route.

Ron Paul is no longer running for president.

But Roseanne Barr is - if you want to waste your vote - then vote for her.

Why vote for a guy who is not even running?

Might as well vote for Big Bird.

Don't vote at all actually, just stay home that day. You're why the founding fathers limited voting to a certain class and I'm not sure they were wrong.

NJ is crying
Last time I looked, it is a FREE Country and we can vote for whoever we like.
People should be RESPONSIBLE and vote for who they think best represents their INTEREST, not play games and vote for the "LESSER EVIL".

There are 300+ Million people in this country.
People should vote for whomever they like among those 300 Million, not who the Bought and Paid for Media says to pick from.

Sure, feel free.

You're not wrong by any means and will find few who really disagree.

Sadly we only have two choices. I think it may be rigged that way.

Why would you vote for someone that is not running though?

Free country I suppose.

Write in, I suppose?

I'd say he has kind of a long shot at winning.

Not all of those people meet the eligibility requirements.

It is true that one can write -in a person's name. How likely is it that person will be elected?
