1. They make it very difficult for write ins to succeed.

2. Bullshit. Most people in his state couldn't spell his name when he did that. That 's NOT a putdown

His 1954 Senate victory was at a time when literacy was not particularly high in South Carolina. To be fair, neither was the voter registration percentage. So seriously, that was not a putdown in anyway, just an observation.

3. It was a gentler age then

If you couldn't spell the candidate's name, a nice poll worker would help you with it. You have to admit, it was mighty white of them.
