Newspaper Deadlocked (Just Write-in Mark Greene)

The Federal Way Mirror is deadlocked on its endorsement for Federal Way City Council, Position 6 (Martin Moore & Roger Flygare), believe it or not.  All the more reason to break the deadlock by voting unconventionally for me, write-in candidate, Mark Greene (and remember the "e" at the end, that's very important).

Also: I responded to some speculation about write-in candidacies on the Mirror's endorsement editorial (see either their on-line site or the comments section of this post, further below, on this blog).  I was surprised that the Mirror suggested another candidate for a write-in vote, though she's hardly legally eligible as a write-in.  Boy, they must really think that I have a shot; why else would they stoop to trying to divide the write-in vote?  Amazin.'

All of this will help me summon up a little more energy for campaigning these last two weeks.

Regarding controversies about write-in votes, write-ins for an active write-in campaign, like mine, are not wasted votes, as write-in candidates -- just like some 3rd party candidates -- have won elections around the United States in the past, including the town of Pacific example noted by J. Keller (Ed.), and a well-known U.S. Senate race in Alaska in 2010. That being said, I agree with Mr. Jerry Galland, though not 100% sure, but 99%, that you can't be on the same ballot for a different race, as Noble-Gulliford is, although I am not, and have write-in votes validated, though that's hardly proposed by the candidate herself. Also, you can't have been in a primary and lost, and then have write-in votes validated for the SAME position for the General Election, but that's not the case with me.

P.S. I'm 100% sure now that only a write-in vote for me, Mark Greene, will count after reading the R.C.W. clause regarding write-in candidates.
