Write-in candidates optimistic despite long odds
In his 2006 bid for the U.S. Senate, Aptos resident Connor Vlakancic placed last in a field of 1o candidates.
The winner, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, earned 5,076,289 votes.
Vlakancic, a write-in candidate, got 11.
Santa Clara County was a hotbed of support, delivering six votes for the self-described technologist with the slogan, “Elect none of the above.”
“I believe I can get elected this year,” Vlakancic said. “I believe I should be elected. But I won’t pretend that I will get elected. … I’m showing the two-party system needs to go.”
Elect None Of The Above – Angry California Voters Now Have This Option to Vote According to Senatorial Candidate Connor Vlakancic
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) October 25, 2010 – After an untimely delay in releasing the official list of all candidate names for the November 2nd General Election Ballot, U.S. Senator candidate, Connor Vlakancic, is finally certified as the Ballot Approved Elect-None-Of-The-Above “outlaw” write-in candidate.
“U.S. Senator from Alaska write-in candidate, Lisa Murkowski, did not have to wait and wait and wait to be certified Ballot-Approved”, said U.S Senator from California write-in candidate, Connor Vlakancic. Murkowski was summarily certified as write-in candidate when she refused to roll-over-dead as Politics-as-Usual Road-Kill following the August 24th, 2010 Alaska primary election. “California elections regulations are flawed in this regard … California’s write-in certified candidate list should have been available right after California’s June Primary Election” he said.

SANTA CRUZ, California — Vlakancic wrote the original “The Contract With America” which was published by US Library of Congress, 16 February, 1995, (TXU-677-207). He was the first Reform Party candidate in November 1985 when Rep. Norm Mineta resigned. Vlakancic observes: “California voters are increasingly, since 1996, changing to register as non-partisan Independent voters”. He says: “I get-it” with his 15 years of campaigning as candidate for U.S. Representative and U.S. Senator. Here is a brief outline of several of his intended political leadership visions that he explains in substantial detail on his campaign website.
