NOTA-PA.ORG Launches "None Of The Above" Write-In Vote Campaign In
Pennsylvania
NOTA-PA.ORG, a Pennsylvania political committee, has launched a "None Of The
Above" write-in vote campaign across the Commonwealth, it was announced
today. The campaign urges voters to write-in "NOTA" when they are
dissatisfied with their choices for a political office.
"We started the campaign to encourage people to vote without giving their
vote away to a candidate they find distasteful," said David Lynn, Chair of
NOTA-PA.ORG. "Too often, when voters don't like the candidates presented to
them, they don't bother to vote at all. We would like to reverse this
trend."
"We also think it is important to educate voters on the write-in vote
process," said Barb Baur, the committee's Treasurer. "If enough people learn
to cast write-in votes, they may run significant write-in campaigns in the
future."
The website includes information about casting write-in votes on the variety
of voting machines in Pennsylvania; a NOTA slogan contest open to all
Pennsylvania voters; and other information about write-in votes and ballot
access.
