Anyone else find it bizarre that the *other*(?) vote in WV has remained steady at about 10%

[JimDandy]

in the Dem primary?

1. I'm trying to figure this out. Trump supporters?

[JimDandy]

3. Only if there is a write-in space on the WV ballots. Someone from WV can you answer this?

2. Bookmarked until I try to discern. nt

4. It's a puzzle. Is this even statistically probable to maintain a steady *other* percent?

[JimDandy]

5. Could this be the spoilage rate?

Touch-screen electronic voting machines are being used in WV.

6. Not sure why that would end up in the vote totals...? nt

[JimDandy]

7. Spoilage of ballots only in the presidential race could occur and be included in the totals

if there are other races/issues on the ballot. Perhaps there was a box the voter had to check to affirm they were a Dem voter, but they didn't check it, so the vote was disqualified. Pure conjecture, because I don't know what is going on.

8. So PAUL T. FARRELL, JR., a presidential candidate is supposedly pulling about 9% of the votes!

Weird. But touch screens are being used and they have been notorious for calibration errors that have tossed votes to a candidate whose name appeared on screen next to the one the voter actually wanted.

9. This is the lunatic state where a prison inmate lost to Obama in 2012, 60-40

So, probably another white wingnut or other pulling the missing 10%.
