# Ralph Nader Got The Most Write-In Votes For President Ever, But Election Write-Ins Have A Long History

As we inch closer to the conclusion of a rather spectacular election cycle, Americans are beginning to solidify their choices for the next President of the United States.

Although most will vote for a major party candidate, some dissatisfied voters are turning to writing in their decision — which brings up an interesting question: Who has received the most write-in votes for president in history?

2016 isn't the first time the public has been interested in choices beyond the ballot — and in fact, it hasn't actually been that long since the last major write-in campaign.

Write-ins often serve as a source of hilarity once the votes have been tallied; rather than choosing from the names on the ballot, disappointed Americans have voted for candidates ranging from Leslie Knope to "my cat Ginger."

In 2012, one particularly inspired citizen wrote in Neil deGrass Tyson as their pick for president and Bill Nye as vice president.

That being said, write-ins can be meant seriously, even if their chances of actual election are slim to none; what's more, it looks like a substantial number of Americans are considering choosing their own candidate in the upcoming election on Nov. 8.

According to CNN, Google searches for "write in" skyrocketed last week by more than 2,800 percent — the highest it's been since George W. Bush ran against John Kerry in 2004.

So who has managed to garner write-in votes despite not actually appearing on the ballot?

Unfortunately, there's no way to tell for sure; as the Federal Election Committee points out, some states don't disclose the names of the write-in candidates.

However, the most likely answer probably won't surprise you: In all probability, it's famous independent politician Ralph Nader during the 1996 election.

In 1996, four years after Nader ran a write-in presidential campaign, the then-fledgling Green Party nominated Nader as their presidential candidate, running against Bill Clinton and Bob Dole.

Nader initially accepted the nomination, but he later declined and went back to running his own independent campaign.

He only made it onto the ballot in 22 states, but he ultimately received more than 685,000 popular votes.

In subsequent elections, Nader became the official Green Party nominee, but he still frequently relies on write-in registration in states where he doesn't appear on the ballot.

Conservative politician Ron Paul is another popular write-in candidate.

According to his own website, he received just over 17,000 write-in votes in California in 2008.

In 2012, many speculated that Paul siphoned away some of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's vote, either by causing disenfranchised voters to stay home or possibly by writing in a vote for Paul.

Then there's the true American hero who has appeared in presidential elections for decades: Mickey Mouse.

Seriously — the first vote for the famous cartoon mouse was cast in the New York mayoral race in 1932, and he's been a figure in American elections ever since.

Now that's a politician we can all get behind.

The 2016 United States presidential election in Vermont was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia participated. Vermont voters chose three electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, and Independent write-in candidate, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
 Hillary Clinton easily won Vermont, regarded as one of the most progressive states in the country, with 56.7% of the vote, although her margin was reduced by 8.34 percentage points from outgoing President Barack Obama in 2012. Donald Trump received 29.3% of the vote and won only Essex County–the most rural and sparsely populated county in the state. He was the first Republican presidential candidate to win a county in Vermont since George W. Bush in 2004. Bernie Sanders received 5.7% of the vote.
 Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, received 3.1%, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein received 2.1%.


The write-in draft campaign percentage was for a statewide presidential candidate.

Some doctors do not have the required accreditation.

(meta data) TITLE: Albania Health Insurance - Pacific Prime

International medical insurance for those living or working in Albania.

Customized Albania health insurance plans and quotes available.

Albania lies on the Adriatic and Ionian coast, North of Greece, South of Montenegro, West of Macedonia and across the water from Italy.

It is part of the area of Eastern Europe called the Balkans.

Albania has an area of 28,748 square kilometers.

The capital, Tiranë, also known as Tirana, is situated in the West central part of the country near the Adriatic Sea.

Albania has a variety of climatic conditions, being situated in the transition zone between the typical Mediterranean climate in the West and the moderate continental climate in the East.

The average annual temperature is 15° C (59° F).

Rainy winters (with frequent storms) and dry, hot summers are typical of the coastal plain.

Summer rainfall is more frequent and winters are colder in the mountainous interior.

Albania is a varied destination offering many pleasures, including friendly people, fascinating Ottoman cities with rich histories, magnificent mountain scenery and charming villages.

The healthcare system in Albania is mainly public, while private practice is limited to a small niche market sector.

The Albanian law guarantees equal access to healthcare for all citizens.

Public healthcare in Albania is the major provider of health services, health promotion, prevention, diagnosis and treatments for the population of Albania.

Primarily, the Government of Albania funds the State healthcare system.

Other sources of funding include contributions from eligible employers, employees and the self-employed, a certain percentage of their wages or income are deducted and contributed to the insurance scheme.

However, poverty in Albania is rather common, and only a few people can afford to make such contributions.

As a result, many residents/citizens fail to receive the required medical care and medicines for their illnesses.

The failure to collect a substantial amount of contributions means that healthcare system in Albania is strongly reliant on charitable aid for medical supplies and drugs.

The private healthcare sector in Albania is still developing, and it covers most of the pharmaceutical and dental services as well as some clinics for specialised diagnoses, mainly being situated in Tirana.

State insurance does not cover medical costs incurred in the private sector, as a result, they are only accessible to people who can afford to pay for them.

In Albania, doctors and hospitals expect payment in cash at the time of service.

The Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection oversee the health service.

It takes the leading role in the public sector; it is the developer and regulator of the country's health strategies and policies, as well as the coordinating entity of all participants both inside and outside the public system.

The Albanian State healthcare system is divided into three tiers of service, namely:-

i) Primary health care - includes health and hygiene centres, health education centres, maternity and paediatric clinics, local emergency rooms and rural hospitals.

ii) Secondary care - consists of medical and diagnostic services in hospitals and polyclinics.

iii) Tertiary care - consists of scientific research medicine including four national university centres with diagnostic services.

Hospitals in Albania are located mainly in urban areas like Tiranë and Durrës, however, the bulk of the country's population live in the countryside, and there are not enough health centres to support everyone, creating an imbalance in the medical system in providing healthcare for this population.

Under the public healthcare system in Albania, patients have a choice to register with their preferred doctor.

In order to visit any specialist doctors or consultants, patients are required to receive a referral from their General Practioners (GP).

Unfortunately, most of the GPs in the country lack a proper level of training.

This has resulted in patients' lack of confidence in the skills of GPs and very often patients will bypass GPs and go directly to a specialist.

The Ministry of Health has tried to put a stop to this by restoring the old system of GP referrals by introducing fees to prevent people from avoiding their GP.

However, this move has achieved few results.

Specialists actually exacerbate the problem by encouraging patients to apply directly to them.

The reason for such behaviour is that consultants rely heavily on under-the-table payments to increase their income.

Corruption is an unfortunate fact of life in Albania and it is a hard and difficult process to resolve the problem, especially in healthcare, over the short term.

In summary, Albania remains one the poorest countries in Europe, with a sluggish economy and high unemployment rates.

Albania spends around 6.1% of GDP on healthcare.

Medical facilities in Albania are poor and there is a lack of specialists, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.

Moreover, hygiene standards are lower than the rest of Europe.

The Albanian healthcare system is rigidly structured and centralised and has difficulty in meeting the medical needs for all its citizens.

Doctors and nurses are often cut off from new techniques and developments in medicine; the system is subsequently finding it hard to cope with modern day health issues like drug abuse, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

Patients must choose a primary care physician with whom they register. Basic supplies lack in public hospitals and doctors tend to refer patients to either their private practice or to nearby pharmacies. They have also become the targets of assaults from frustrated patients who are confronted with their lack of accountability and rampant corruption. Specialists encourage patients to go to them directly, rather than by a referral, because they want underhand payments.


These doctors pose a hazard to the general public by prescribing the wrong medication.

Under the public healthcare system in Albania, patients have a choice to register with their preferred doctor.

In order to visit any specialist doctors or consultants, patients are required to receive a referral from their General Practioners (GP).

Unfortunately, most of the GPs in the country lack a proper level of training.

This has resulted in patients' lack of confidence in the skills of GPs and very often patients will bypass GPs and go directly to a specialist.

The Ministry of Health has tried to put a stop to this by restoring the old system of GP referrals by introducing fees to prevent people from avoiding their GP.

However, this move has achieved few results.

Specialists actually exacerbate the problem by encouraging patients to apply directly to them.

The reason for such behaviour is that consultants rely heavily on under-the-table payments to increase their income.

Corruption is an unfortunate fact of life in Albania and it is a hard and difficult process to resolve the problem, especially in healthcare, over the short term.

In summary, Albania remains one the poorest countries in Europe, with a sluggish economy and high unemployment rates.

Albania spends around 6.1% of GDP on healthcare.

Medical facilities in Albania are poor and there is a lack of specialists, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals.

Moreover, hygiene standards are lower than the rest of Europe.

The Albanian healthcare system is rigidly structured and centralised and has difficulty in meeting the medical needs for all its citizens.

Doctors and nurses are often cut off from new techniques and developments in medicine; the system is subsequently finding it hard to cope with modern day health issues like drug abuse, AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

Patients must choose a primary care physician with whom they register. Basic supplies lack in public hospitals and doctors tend to refer patients to either their private practice or to nearby pharmacies. They have also become the targets of assaults from frustrated patients who are confronted with their lack of accountability and rampant corruption. Specialists encourage patients to go to them directly, rather than by a referral, because they want underhand payments. Some doctors do not have the required accreditation.


These doctors pose a hazard to the general public by performing unsuccessful surgeries.

International medical insurance for those living or working in Albania.

Customized Albania health insurance plans and quotes available.

Albania lies on the Adriatic and Ionian coast, North of Greece, South of Montenegro, West of Macedonia and across the water from Italy.

It is part of the area of Eastern Europe called the Balkans.

Albania has an area of 28,748 square kilometers.

The capital, Tiranë, also known as Tirana, is situated in the West central part of the country near the Adriatic Sea.

Albania has a variety of climatic conditions, being situated in the transition zone between the typical Mediterranean climate in the West and the moderate continental climate in the East.

The average annual temperature is 15° C (59° F).

Rainy winters (with frequent storms) and dry, hot summers are typical of the coastal plain.

Summer rainfall is more frequent and winters are colder in the mountainous interior.

Albania is a varied destination offering many pleasures, including friendly people, fascinating Ottoman cities with rich histories, magnificent mountain scenery and charming villages.

The healthcare system in Albania is mainly public, while private practice is limited to a small niche market sector.

The Albanian law guarantees equal access to healthcare for all citizens.

Public healthcare in Albania is the major provider of health services, health promotion, prevention, diagnosis and treatments for the population of Albania.

Primarily, the Government of Albania funds the State healthcare system.

Other sources of funding include contributions from eligible employers, employees and the self-employed, a certain percentage of their wages or income are deducted and contributed to the insurance scheme.

However, poverty in Albania is rather common, and only a few people can afford to make such contributions.

As a result, many residents/citizens fail to receive the required medical care and medicines for their illnesses.

The failure to collect a substantial amount of contributions means that healthcare system in Albania is strongly reliant on charitable aid for medical supplies and drugs.

The private healthcare sector in Albania is still developing, and it covers most of the pharmaceutical and dental services as well as some clinics for specialised diagnoses, mainly being situated in Tirana.

State insurance does not cover medical costs incurred in the private sector, as a result, they are only accessible to people who can afford to pay for them.

In Albania, doctors and hospitals expect payment in cash at the time of service.

The Ministry of Health and Environmental Protection oversee the health service.

It takes the leading role in the public sector; it is the developer and regulator of the country's health strategies and policies, as well as the coordinating entity of all participants both inside and outside the public system.

The Albanian State healthcare system is divided into three tiers of service, namely:-

i) Primary health care - includes health and hygiene centres, health education centres, maternity and paediatric clinics, local emergency rooms and rural hospitals.

ii) Secondary care - consists of medical and diagnostic services in hospitals and polyclinics.

iii) Tertiary care - consists of scientific research medicine including four national university centres with diagnostic services.

The fans consider themselves fiercely left-wing.

(meta data) TITLE: Tennis Borussia Berlin e.V.

With the chant "God Save TeBe", which has become a regular on the TeBe terraces, the fans display their unshakeable love for TeBe.

In the dark but recent past, when it looked as though only divine intervention could save TeBe, this chant became more like a prayer for the long-suffering TeBe fans.

Clearly the footballing gods were convinced...

A good hundred years ago, when TeBe was formed near Hackscher Markt by twelve sport enthusiasts, the chants were surely quite different.

Their emotions and attitudes towards this unique club, however, were not very much different from those of today's fans, and it was through this enthusiasm that TeBe became one of the big players in Berlin football.

Over the following decade, there were numerous legendary matches as TeBe battled it out with Hertha BSC for supremacy in Berlin.

Many famous names were part of this era: Hanne Sobeck for Hertha, and Hanne Berndt, Fritz Wilde, Sepp Herberger for the Veilchen, to name but a few.

Hertha had their noses in front at certain points, but TeBe certainly gave as good as they got, particularly in the TeBe "Golden Era", the 1950s.

However when the Bundesliga was formed, TeBe had weakened both on and off the pitch, allowing Hertha to be Berlin's representative in the new league.

Since then, TeBe have never managed to break Hertha's supremacy in Berlin.

And so, TeBe fans from any era have something in common – the fighting spirit, the regrouping after failure.

For many years the team was a major player in German football, regularly qualifying for the later stages of competitions, although never usually progressing further than the quarterfinals.

There were two promotions to the Bundesliga, unfortunately both were followed by immediate relegations.

The promotion playoffs for the second Bundesliga were also regularly a source of misery for Veilchen fans, almost all of whom have shed countless tears from the team as, again and again, their dreams are shattered.

But despite these disappointments there are many who will simply not abandon the team.

Even after the disaster in the late 1990s, when the club created negative headlines due to their involvement with a certain investor and subsequently found themselves in the fourth division for the first time in their history, many fans remained faithful to their team.

This is very notable in a success-orientated metropolis like Berlin.

So what is it that makes this indefatigable spirit?

Why is it still flourishing, even in new converts to the TeBe religion?

Why are there always more fans, from Neukölln, Friedrichshain, Marzahn, Schöneberg and Prenzlauer Berg, and even a couple of "nutters"from Bremen or Hamburg, coming to the Mommsenstadion to see fifth league football, especially when there are many other higher level teams to watch?

What is so special about Tennis Borussia?

The reasons for this level of loyalty are just as varied and colourful as the TeBe fan scene.

One, however, all can agree on: after the bad feeling created in the 1990s, the team is once more united, just like it was in the 1970s when the levels of support for the team amongst Berliners was at its highest and there were idols like Benny Wendt for the fans to idolise.

The "Ping-Pong-Veterans", a TeBe fanclub who were at their largest in the 1970s, have the motto "Seele – Wärme – Inbrunst" (Soul, Warmth, Fervour).

Nothing sums up the TeBe spirit better than that.

After a dry patch in the 1980s, the fan scene began to recover in the 1990s in very difficult circumstances.

The fans found themselves in almost constant opposition to the then sponsor, Göttinger, feeling that their interest in the club as a football team was lacking.

Nowadays, there is very close contact between the fans and the club administration, and the fans take an active role in the running of the club, for example, through the production of the match day programme.

Instead of the bloated and ostentatious match day entertainment of previous years, music chosen by the fans is played, music that is not to be heard at any other stadium.

These days, the motto of the Mommsenstadion is "Football, Friends, Rock'n'Roll".

Also part of the TeBe spirit is the continued appreciation of Jewish traditions and active opposition to anti-Semitism, racism and homophoby, and in this area the fans are fully supported by the club.

In 2001, the fans suggested the addition of anti-discrimination paragraph to the club's Articles of Association, which was subsequently added without a single dissenting voice.

Since right-wing radicals are still active in certain areas of Berlin, TeBe fans are proud of their stance in opposition to such groups.

TeBe is also very active in youth development (often recognised as one of the best in Berlin), where large emphasis is put on encouraging tolerance and global awareness.

Little wonder, then, that youths and children from all nationalities and religions are attracted to TeBe.

One day one of them will make it into the first team, and then they will be able to hear the famous "God Save TeBe" being enthusiastically sung from the terraces.

The fan movement started in the 1980s when TeBe began having its biggest successes. Despite their fall down the leagues the club still enjoys a relatively strong support.


The fans frequently cultivate the club's Jewish traditions.

Instead of the bloated and ostentatious match day entertainment of previous years, music chosen by the fans is played, music that is not to be heard at any other stadium.

These days, the motto of the Mommsenstadion is "Football, Friends, Rock'n'Roll".

Also part of the TeBe spirit is the continued appreciation of Jewish traditions and active opposition to anti-Semitism, racism and homophoby, and in this area the fans are fully supported by the club.

In 2001, the fans suggested the addition of anti-discrimination paragraph to the club's Articles of Association, which was subsequently added without a single dissenting voice.

Since right-wing radicals are still active in certain areas of Berlin, TeBe fans are proud of their stance in opposition to such groups.

TeBe is also very active in youth development (often recognised as one of the best in Berlin), where large emphasis is put on encouraging tolerance and global awareness.

Little wonder, then, that youths and children from all nationalities and religions are attracted to TeBe.

One day one of them will make it into the first team, and then they will be able to hear the famous "God Save TeBe" being enthusiastically sung from the terraces.

The fan movement started in the 1980s when TeBe began having its biggest successes. Despite their fall down the leagues the club still enjoys a relatively strong support. The fans consider themselves fiercely left-wing. The fans frequently cultivate the club's Jewish traditions. The fans take actions against antisemitism.


The fans take actions against homophobia.

(meta data) TITLE: Tennis Borussia Berlin e.V.

With the chant "God Save TeBe", which has become a regular on the TeBe terraces, the fans display their unshakeable love for TeBe.

In the dark but recent past, when it looked as though only divine intervention could save TeBe, this chant became more like a prayer for the long-suffering TeBe fans.

Clearly the footballing gods were convinced...

A good hundred years ago, when TeBe was formed near Hackscher Markt by twelve sport enthusiasts, the chants were surely quite different.

Their emotions and attitudes towards this unique club, however, were not very much different from those of today's fans, and it was through this enthusiasm that TeBe became one of the big players in Berlin football.

Over the following decade, there were numerous legendary matches as TeBe battled it out with Hertha BSC for supremacy in Berlin.

Many famous names were part of this era: Hanne Sobeck for Hertha, and Hanne Berndt, Fritz Wilde, Sepp Herberger for the Veilchen, to name but a few.

Hertha had their noses in front at certain points, but TeBe certainly gave as good as they got, particularly in the TeBe "Golden Era", the 1950s.

However when the Bundesliga was formed, TeBe had weakened both on and off the pitch, allowing Hertha to be Berlin's representative in the new league.

Since then, TeBe have never managed to break Hertha's supremacy in Berlin.

And so, TeBe fans from any era have something in common – the fighting spirit, the regrouping after failure.

For many years the team was a major player in German football, regularly qualifying for the later stages of competitions, although never usually progressing further than the quarterfinals.

There were two promotions to the Bundesliga, unfortunately both were followed by immediate relegations.

The promotion playoffs for the second Bundesliga were also regularly a source of misery for Veilchen fans, almost all of whom have shed countless tears from the team as, again and again, their dreams are shattered.

But despite these disappointments there are many who will simply not abandon the team.

Even after the disaster in the late 1990s, when the club created negative headlines due to their involvement with a certain investor and subsequently found themselves in the fourth division for the first time in their history, many fans remained faithful to their team.

This is very notable in a success-orientated metropolis like Berlin.

So what is it that makes this indefatigable spirit?

Why is it still flourishing, even in new converts to the TeBe religion?

Why are there always more fans, from Neukölln, Friedrichshain, Marzahn, Schöneberg and Prenzlauer Berg, and even a couple of "nutters"from Bremen or Hamburg, coming to the Mommsenstadion to see fifth league football, especially when there are many other higher level teams to watch?

What is so special about Tennis Borussia?

The reasons for this level of loyalty are just as varied and colourful as the TeBe fan scene.

One, however, all can agree on: after the bad feeling created in the 1990s, the team is once more united, just like it was in the 1970s when the levels of support for the team amongst Berliners was at its highest and there were idols like Benny Wendt for the fans to idolise.

The "Ping-Pong-Veterans", a TeBe fanclub who were at their largest in the 1970s, have the motto "Seele – Wärme – Inbrunst" (Soul, Warmth, Fervour).

Nothing sums up the TeBe spirit better than that.

After a dry patch in the 1980s, the fan scene began to recover in the 1990s in very difficult circumstances.

The fans found themselves in almost constant opposition to the then sponsor, Göttinger, feeling that their interest in the club as a football team was lacking.

Nowadays, there is very close contact between the fans and the club administration, and the fans take an active role in the running of the club, for example, through the production of the match day programme.
