How do you handle unopposed candidates on the ballot? Ignore, write-in, something else...

Just curious. Every election there are so many unopposed candidates. It's a freaking gravy train for them. Does writing in a name accomplish anything?

Louisiana doesn’t do this, even if many are often effectively so.

If I support them I’ll give them the vote. If I don’t know them or they are bad then I won’t give them the point, but unopposed they’ll still win. I don’t vote straight ticket just because of loyalty to party.

I write in whichever friend/family member would qualify to fulfill the duties of the office but would hate that job the most.

There are a few unopposed candidates that show up on the ballot here in NC. I always ignore them unless I approve of the job that their office is doing. In fairness there have been several candidates that go unopposed because their office is actually doing a very good job. Shockingly, some of them are long standing democrats.

Write in Ron Paul.
This is allowable for all elections

If it's a Democrat, I leave it blank.
