Idaho prez race features 37 write-ins

If you don't like the two main candidates for the U.S. presidency in Idaho, you can select one of the other six choices on the ballot including Libertarian Gary Johnson, Independent Jill Stein (of the Green Party) and Constitutionalist Scott Copeland. And if you don't like those choices, you can write in one of 37 other names that have been certified by the Idaho Secretary of State as write-in candidates, including six from Idaho: Timothy Helgerson of Nampa, Chris Lacy of Boise, Steven P. Malloy of Idaho Falls, Janet L Reid of Rigby, and Nicola "Niki" Jo Taysom of Letha. You can see the list of legitimate Idaho write-ins for president here. And if you still don't like your choice for president in Idaho, you can write in Mickey Mouse or anyone else. Your down-ballot votes will still count.

H/T: County Clerk Jim Brannon for providing the list.
