As he said, he has a big family and out of 300 or so people, four or five don't like some of his policies, but they all still love and respect each other.

Maligning people is not cool.

I asked because it was my understanding if you're voting for someone other than the party candidate, for some reason I thought last time, they did not allow writing in (but I could be wrong).

The Republican party has been pumping him up - this is worse for Republicans than Democrats. While some votes may be siphoned off, very few Democrats ever took him half as seriously as Republicans do.

If the DNC told you to vote for RFK, you’d vote for RFK.

Nonsense
Its actually quite normal in most families that members would hold differing opinions.

He will take votes from both sides.
I am possibly one of them.
His family complains about his anti vax stance. Big deal. Who cares what other Kennedys think. The man makes a lot of sense.

Democrats don’t understand the concept of “differing opinions”.

The more options / more choices the better. That's the American way.

Screw worrying about splitting votes. That fear has been spread around too long to keep people from going outside the two stupid main parties.

Bust the two-party system and status quo wide open like a pinata. Replace all the Ds and Rs with independents and unaffiliateds.

It really depends on your state. Some states count any write in. Some just lump all write-ins together. Some don't count them unless the person being written in has officially filed paperwork saying they are running. Some don't count them at all.

Quote:
In Massachusetts and 33 other states, write-in presidential candidate must fill out paperwork before an election to ensure their ballots are tallied. In a handful of states, write-in voting for presidential candidates is simply not allowed. The remaining states do not require presidential write-in candidates to file special paperwork before the election.

So maybe do a web search for something like write in candidates president (add whatever your state is) so you can know the rules for your specific state.

And some antisemitic conspiracy theories to boot! Funny how it's no surprise that it's no bother to those who would consider voting for him - and those people aren't on the left.

Look at this thread. The only people who are in support of this are people who otherwise would vote for whoever the Republicans put up for office.
