How many voters would aim at one and will end up voting for someone else?

Is this how it will be in the rest of the states?

and we seem to get by OK. And the actual ballot will be the same as the sample one sent to all voters so there's no excuse for not knowing who's where.

according to what Maddow showed last night. He's on the Democratic ballot in CA, and I think on the Libertarian one as well. He may well break 100 this year
