"Most Likely" I Voted
We have some bizarre voting machines here in Galveston. They look like touch screens, but they're not - You spin a wheel that rotates the selector through the choices, and then click an "enter" button when you get to your choice. When you get to the write-in, you have to spin it through an alphabet letter board. Since all the other candidates are listed as "presidential candidate/vice presidential candidate," I was concerned that the write-in would have to be in that same form. There was no "/" on the letter board, so I asked one of the election officials whether the proper way to enter my choice was to just put Rocky's name in or add Rodriguez along with it, without the "/". She said "most likely" just putting Rocky's name would be the proper way. So "most likely" I voted for Anderson/Rodriguez. I can only be CERTAIN that I didn't vote for any of the other pairs on the ballot. Yes, we need some serious overhaul to our election process, and not just with the machinery.

I just did the same here in Houston, wrote "Rocky Anderson." Sure hope it worked. Our machines are wretched.
yeah, probably just one more way to ignore us and keep the status quo.
