unironically the hawk tuah girl could probably do better than either major candidate

I listened to one of her podcasts, and she comes across as so genuine. I can totally see why people listen to her.

ive only seen her in passing and nothing i saw of her made me think she was worthy of the kind of derision and disdain ive seen in regards to her honestly she seems like a pretty normal young person who has all the energy and faults a person at that stage of life tends to have

I made an edit. Three Os are much better than just two.

I'm a proud Xi Jinping voter for the last 3 elections im-doing-my-part

Most of our write-ins are lumped together. Claudia de la Cruz only got nine votes here, one of them of course was me.

Any google hints?

I tried various things like "[my state] state election totals" but I got nowhere. Aren't the complete totals somewhere? My state's .gov site stops at 854 votes which - of course - is arbitrary. Anything lower than that is missing.

Ninja edit. Ah! I just realized maybe it's not arbitrary. Maybe there's even a law (or a norm) requiring a minimum rounded percentage like ~0.10%.
