Do you count write-in votes for individuals?
Oregon law states the only time county election officials shall tally write-in votes separately is: If the total number of write-in votes for candidates for the same office equals or exceeds the number of votes cast for any candidate for the same office on the ballot who appears to have been nominated or elected; If no names of candidates are printed on the ballot for an office. Otherwise, the vote counting machine keeps a total of all the write-in votes for an office, just not per individual.
