Please note: Write-in candidates for all offices are not included in any of these polls. Election history in Webster County and elsewhere proves time and time again that a write-in candidate can NOT win against those already on the ballot (especially write-in candidates who have already LOST in an earlier primary election in the same year). Most folks who want to express dissatisfaction with the candidates on the ballot will write-in someone's name. However, most of those "protest" write-in votes are never counted because the person they wrote in did not file as an official write-in candidate. So, you can vote in protest for an official or unofficial write-in candidate, but the result will be the same: it is a wasted vote because no write-in candidate in Webster has ever won against someone already on the ballot.
