New Jersey is one of ten states where you can write in anyone's name for president. Thanks to the unpopularity and mud slinging between our top presidential candidates, the number of write in votes for this election soared over last year. Are you surprised?

In Hudson county, 1,122 people wrote in names other than Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton as compared to just 190 in 2012 and in Essex county, there were 1,908 write ins compared to 276 in 2012.
