wrote in Bernie. Took a photo of it.

I can't imagine that many people will do it, but I'm sure there are a few.

1. Take your ballot

2. Write "BERNIE SANDERS!!!" across the whole thing in all caps

3. Frame it on your wall so everyone can see how principled you are

Alternatively, fill in the box marked "Donald Trump". Your vote will have the same effect.

He holds WAY more power in a Hillary administration than a Trump regime.
