Paper and Pen ballots and you people went crazy. I always highlight a sampling of write-ins NOT every write-in or blank space is reported here. Now with the new voting system, we get the scan of what you actually wrote in. Some of y’all need hand writing lessons. Here is a sample what I see.

a sampling are; Tony Bedwell, NRO, Dasha Lundy, Erik Wiatr, Republican. Mickey Mouse, Grant Rosenberg, David Williams, Candy Rolfe, Benson Rolfe, Janet Testerman , Evelyn Gill got 3 votes, Kimberly Peterson, BlackBerry the cat, Dean Harned.
