The problem in Texas is the way the voting machine works. If the voter selects "write in" he goes to a screen on which he can use a wheel (or dial, physically on the machine) to scroll through the alphabet (on the screen). When he gets to the letter he wants, he pushes a button. Our candidate's name has 19 characters in it, so the voter has to do that 19 times. In addition, the name better be spelled correctly if the race is close, because any deviations will be challenged. The Houston Chronicle has an article on this race today, which describes the method better than I did.

And it's a cBS poll, so you can add a few points for the GOP.

Just curious, how close does it have to be to be a valid write in vote? I mean, if they simply enter Gibbs, shouldn't that count as a valid vote? I mean it clearly shows the intent of the voter. Vastly more so than trying to divine votes from dimples and chads in floridas ballots.

The "how close" question will wind up in court if the Republican candidate wins. The Republican side was out-lawyered in the first round (whether or not DeLay could be replaced), maybe they will do better in the second round. At least they managed to get the correct spelling of her name in the ballot by running her for DeLay's unexpired term, but the voter will not be able to access it while "writing in" the candidate's name.
