BOOM-Shakalaka!
The Get Nieuked ticket got 16 write-in votes in the City of Peoria alone.
It’s not too late to help retire the Get Nieuked campaign debt by buying a t-shirt, button or trucker cap at their CafePress page. Go help them out.

It appears that the YouTube candidate came in second among Peoria write-ins. He got 16. Randy Stufflebeam got 222.

I find your fascination with this odd-ball, well, odd.

There actually was a Stufflebeam yard sign on my route to work the last few weeks. Not sure if he got many votes in Galesburg.

Oddball? I wouldn’t go on to say that. Unconventional, maybe…and definitely unique. I admire how fashionable the Lt. Governor candidate dresses; hat and tie, a real classy fellow. Glad to see there were some Central Illinoisians who weren’t afraid to get Nieuked. Go get ‘em next time, Tim!

DK, it’s a joke. People can be so serious in this business.
Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Nov 9, 06 @ 5:00 pm
Judging from the very few authorities that are reporting write-ins, Stufflebeam should pass 5,000 easily and may get 10,000 votes or more. I’d be curious how that compares to history in Illinois. I think Nader in 04 got around 5,000.
Thanks to the Nieuk for the entertainment.

Levois - we certainly couldn’t do any worse than we already have.

God Bless Nieuk for giving me something to smile about this election season. I’m gonna miss him. Maybe if he sends in his resume, Blago will give him a job?

Unfortunatley, only one vote for the Nieukirk campaign in Champaign County. It wasn’t me either.

Jeff, my observation closing polls is that most judges either didn’t know how to count write-in votes or they didn’t care.
The electronic machines are more efficient at recording write-in votes than the old system.

Tim got 11 votes in Sangamon County. A protest vote if I ever saw one.

Out of 8 counties so far tabulating write-in votes (Champaign, Crawford, Douglas, LaSalle,McLean, Peoria, and Sangamon)
The results are as follows:
Stufflebeam 1,418 (He looks to get a respectable total for a write-in candidate.)
Neiukirk 55
McCoy (Libertarian) 47
Mike Shorten 2
Albert “Barney” Sloan 7
Martin Koch 1
Angel Rivera 1
David Sito 1
There you have it from someone with way too much time on their hands!!
