Well, I stood outside my Ward polling place from 8 am till 7 pm, and waited around for a while for the results. I got 9/32 write-in votes in my own ward. City-wide, I got 23/65, good for first place among all the write-ins, and above the 10 vote threshold that should put me on the ballot. Got a lot of interesting comments..."Oh, are you the mystery candidate the Republican's found?" was the most popular, since I kind of appeared out of nowhere.
I also received several write-ins on the Democratic ballot for state rep, but those won't count. I got one write-in for State Senate on the Republican side, as well as one write-in for US Congress. How that happened, I don't know. It wasn't either of us, because it wasn't in our Ward.
So, all in all, a successful day, I think. Time to get down to real work, now that I'm a real candidate.
