My absentee ballot came in the mail Since I'm in a blue county in a solidly blue state—one I'm about to functionally get priced out of, almost certainly never to return—I'm almost tempted not to vote out of pure bitterness but *sigh* I guess Westchester can profit at my expense
Famously, the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election was a loophole -- the number of signatures required to get on that ballot was much lower than normal -- and they WERE inundated with cranks, the final ballot had 135 candidates and was this little phone book thing

But most states have laws saying the minimum qualification to have your votes counted at all should be somewhat lower than being on the ballot To be a "qualified write-in candidate" you just need to send a letter telling them you're running before the election

Because they only want to count votes for which they have verification the name corresponds to a real person who would actually take the office if they were elected As opposed to voting for "South Park"
