SO! While we do not know for whom those write-in votes were cast (we can suppose not for the baker’s dozen of challengers on the ballot), and, oddly, we do not see a total of votes cast with a list of those challengers and their results, we do see that there was a pretty healthy write-in vote.
As a reminder, if she did garner a sizable portion of write-in votes, HRC never declared or said a word to imply that she was running, never set her pretty little foot on New Hampshire soil, and did not spend a red cent on this. This was entirely a grassroots effort. Imagine if she had assured voters that she was in this to win it. At a time when this country is in dire need of a hero with a knowledge base and plans to counter the GOP with its bad plans and the incumbent, who historically lacks plans going all the way back to the 2007 debates, HRC is what she has always been since that day in 2007 when she declared, the change we need.
I wonder if we’ll hear about these write ins with all of the other news out there.

dis, I doubt we’d hear about the write-ins, even if there was no other important news to report. MSM would cover Lindsay Lohan knocking back a few before they would report news about the efforts to get Hillary elected president.
I surfed around the net and saw a few headlines at sites other than the usual Hillary supporter blogs.
10% is pretty remarkable, considering t this was a grassroots effort.
Hillary supporters are determined and tenacious, and won’t give up on seeing Hillary in the oval office – behind the desk (not behind Obama), where she belongs!

I don’t know. If this ten percent was all her (as opposed to a mix of something like thirteen different write-ins) and I think we still might if she gets a significant number of write-in votes in other news-getting states. Florida, do your thing!

The NH SOS office said we will have the write-in names tomorrow. Most importantly, we will have them.

The Hillary Army is out there calling the NH Secretary of State’s office. According to what one person was told, the names of the write-ins should be available tomorrow. Believe me, when we know, we will report – all of us! What a team!

We do know about the little town of Exeter, NH– Hillary got five write-in votes there, according to their local paper.

I hope she got all of the write-ins.

It probably helped her to have joke candidate Vermin Supreme on the ballot– the pranksters who’d normally write in Donald Duck or Miss Piggy had a real person to vote for this time. (Vermin actually got one percent of the vote, finishing second among the 13 unknown Dems.)

Isn’t that more than Rick Perry got? 😉

Actually, the write-ins did get more votes than Rick Perry.

Why is that not a headline somewhere – Rick Perry and Vermin Supreme tied in NH primaries.

It should be. Everyone would probably figure it’s from The Onion.
