So, the likelihood of getting elected by write-in vote is probably slim. However, in Robeson County and in the  town of Orrum, write-in candidates did in fact win election to office. In Robeson County a write-in candidate was selected to be director of the county's Board of Election, and in Orrum two write-in candidates won election to the town's council.

The worst evils which mankind has ever had to endure were inflicted by bad governments. The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster. -- Ludwig von Mises
