So this is the closest Missouri Presidential election in vote margin and percentage margin since 1908. So we have that going for us. I guess.
the Lembke/Barry margin is now 76 votes.
we are finished counting? Was that it? Are we done? Or will it just be a surprise to us when one day Robin will certify and we’ll all say – Oh, I guess we must be finished.
For President: 4 votes for Cynthia McKinney, 1 vote for Cynthia Ann McKinney, 1 vote for Rosa Clemente
Don’t ask why someone would write in McKinney’s middle name. Or her runningmate.
For Governor: Serati and Brown got one write-in each.
Missouri’s requirements to be a write-in for President are actually pretty sensible. You have to actually get electors in case hell freezes over and you win.
But I don’t know who Mark Serati or Theo Brown are.
