California Lt. Governor: ‘Explore Every Legal Option’ To Remove Trump From Ballot
Technically they will count.
The issue is that he is ineligible to be president. The the same as if he was foreign born or under 35.
I think they mean the secretary of state may release a total of write-ins, but to my knowledge they make no effort to distinguish write-in names if there aren’t enough to swing it.
So technically, they count write-ins. Just not in the winner’s column.
Some 3rd parties have ran ineligible candidates. If they actually won, the electors wouldn't actually cast their votes for them, but the votes are counted and tallied AFAIK. Given these are parties that make the Green Party and Libertarian parties look like first parties, they've just been ignored.
For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B3ger_Calero
Notably, Colorado is one of the states that wouldn't let Calero on the ballot because he was ineligible.
A lot of foreign born presidents, so I’m calling bullshit on this one!
Many of the presidents were actually born in england…
