Do you ever just write bs on your mail-in ballots? I got mine for the King County(Seattle Wa) and selected Write-in for the options and just put in someone's name, like Mises, or Rothbard. I filled up every thing naming an economist or philosopher. Then I remarked some bs about voting and compulsion. Instead of turning it in though I am thinking of posting on a light pole somewhere near a busy street!

Is it wrong that I'm having fun with it? lol

I don't see anything wrong with having a little fun with it... Although I abstained completely from these midterm elections, in the 2008 election I decided to Mock teh Vote, casting my presidential ballot for "NOBODY", and "Homer Simpson" for Drain Commissioner. Stick out tongue
