Ron Paul Write-In Guide Facts 2008
If Information is missing please let me know in the comments.

Ron Paul is on the ballot in the following States:

  • California - As an official Write-In Candidate. Source: Here & Here
  • Louisiana - Source: Here
  • Montana  - Source: Here

Ron Paul has endorsed Chuck Baldwin as his pick for President:

"I’ve thought about the unsolicited advice from the Libertarian Party candidate, and he has convinced me to reject my neutral stance in the November election. I’m supporting Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party candidate."

A Write-In Campaign for Ron Paul?

Here is what Ron says: "I don’t think that’s very productive. Supporters can do it, of course, but in most of the states it won’t count. And if they can change the rules in a primary and not count all the votes, imagine what they could do with write-in votes!"

Source: Lew Rockwell

Write-In rules vary by state. Writing in Ron Paul may actually be a wasted vote.

"Each state has their own law regarding write-ins. I do not advocate writing in Ron Paul because it is an exercise in futility. Sure your conscience will be clean, but it does nothing to help spread the message. Some states require the candidate to be a ‘registered’ write-in candidate, some states prohibit write-ins entirely, and others prohibit write-ins for candidates that lost the primary in that state. Most states don’t even report the write-in vote totals.

For these reasons even if Ron Paul were to register as a write-in candidate in the states that allow it, he would likely not get enough votes for any media outlet to report it. That being said, I suppose it can be personally liberating to write his name in when November comes around. Just don’t hold any illusions about the overall effect it will have on spreading the freedom message."

An absence of an "X" does not imply the reverse of the rule.

If Ron Paul is not on the ballot (or a Legal Write- In candidate like in California) in November I encourage you to support your favorite third party and vote for their candidate.
