Election: ‘We want to
make sure everyone is
aware of the options’
Continued from Page 1A
“We generally encourage
write-in candidates to notify
us they are going to run a
write-in campaign because
then we’ll notify the clerks to
specifically count them,” said
Massachusetts Secretary of
the Commonwealth William
Galvin. “If people randomly
choose to write in a name, it’ll
be counted, but it could be
counted as ‘other.”’
One added hiccup this elec-
tion could be voters who write
in the name of Trump’s GOP
running mate, Indiana Gov.
Mike Pence. U.S. Sen. Kelly
Ayotte, the New Hampshire
Republican locked in a tight
re-election fight with Demo-
cratic Gov. Maggie Hassan,
has said she’ll do that.
Galvin said write-in votes
for Pence in Massachusetts
won’t be counted for Trump.
He’s also concerned some vot-
ers might simply cross out
Trump’s name in an attempt to
vote for Pence instead.
Another wild card this elec-
tion is the candidacy of former
CIA agent Evan McMullin,
who has positioned himself as
a conservative alternative to
Trump and Clinton and whose
campaign appears to be catch-
ing on in Utah.
The 40-year-old is on the
ballot in 11 states. In other
states, supporters have filed
papers to have write-in ballots
for McMullin tallied.
Independent
presidential
candidate Evan
McMullin speaks
during a rally,
in Draper, Utah,
in October. Two
months after he
jumped into the
presidential race
as a political un-
known, McMullin
is surging in Utah
polls and drawing
large crowds of
Republican-lean-
ing voters fed
up with Donald
Trump’s crude-
ness and antics.

on the ballot in
11 states.
will be tallied.
In Oregon
Oregon is typical for
the way some states handle
write-in ballots.
The write-in votes will
be tallied together, unless the
total number of write-in votes
equals or exceeds the largest
number of votes cast for a can-
didate printed on the ballot for
the same office.
In that case, the state will
tally the number of votes for
each write-in candidate.

Flurry of hopefuls
Some states are hear-
ing from a flurry of would-be
White House hopefuls.
In Connecticut, 20 write-in
candidates have registered
with the secretary of the state
to have their votes counted.
The names won’t appear on
the ballot, but voting machines
are programmed to accept
votes for write-ins who have
registered.
“Democracy is about
choices,” said Connecticut
Secretary of the State Denise
Merrill. “We want to make
sure everyone is aware of the
options available to them on
Election Day.”
Ohio also won’t individu-
ally tally the votes of write-in
candidates, except for those
who fill out paperwork. The
Ohio secretary of state’s office
says 18 presidential hope-
fuls successfully submitted
their write-in documents by an
August deadline.
West Virginia also requires
anyone seeking election to
an office by write-in votes to
complete a certificate. The
West Virginia secretary of
state’s list shows a whop-
ping 41 presidential candi-
dates whose write-in votes

PORTLAND — Thousands
of Oregon students are tak-
ing advantage of a new state
grant that waives community
college tuition for low-income
students.
The Oregonian that accord-
ing to preliminary enrollment
figures from state education
officials, about 6,000 students
statewide are taking commu-
nity college classes through
Oregon Promise.
Officials say that figure is
about what was expected for
the first-year program.
The Oregon Promise pro-
gram subsidizes community
college tuition for students who
graduated from an Oregon high
school in the spring or summer
with at least a 2.5 cumulative
GPA, or have completed their
GED this year.
The largest number of Ore-
gon Promise students attend
Portland Community College,
the state’s largest post-sec-
ondary institution. Chemeketa
Community College in Salem
had the second most enrollees.
