In many voting districts in the United State, elections boards got 
tired (or at least that was the excuse) of counting votes for "Mickey 
Mouse" so they simply eliminated the write in line on most 
election "contests" (and then voided the ballots which were "defaced" 
by people - like me - who wrote in names in the margins) - pretty much 
forcing people to vote for the government-approved candidates (or 
better yet, not vote at all).
