    Technically they will count.

    The issue is that he is ineligible to be president. The the same as if he was foreign born or under 35.

        It is a primary. A party can nominate whoever they want. It has no bearing on whether who they nominated actually is eligible to be sworn in.

        I think they mean the secretary of state may release a total of write-ins, but to my knowledge they make no effort to distinguish write-in names if there aren’t enough to swing it.

        So technically, they count write-ins. Just not in the winner’s column.

      A lot of foreign born presidents, so I’m calling bullshit on this one!

      Many of the presidents were actually born in england…
