US Senate Candidate Frederic Vidal is a write-in one who could not get his validation to be in November 2 ballot because his petition of 77 names included 42 signatures refused by the State of California. Vidal wants to know why and demands a Second Vote in the Golden State as he is sure that his candidacy would have been successful thanks to HIS local and nationwide WEB POPULARITY! (to be followed)

A write-in candidate is a candidate in an election whose name does not appear on the ballot, but for whom voters may vote nonetheless by writing in the person's name. Some states and local jurisdictions allow a voter to affix a sticker with a write-in candidate's name on it to the ballot in lieu of actually writing in the candidate's name. Write-in candidacies are sometimes a result of a candidate being legally or procedurally ineligible to run under his or her own name or party. In some cases, write-in campaigns have been organized to support a candidate who is not personally involved in running; this may be a form of draft campaign.
