The McHenry County Clerk’s canvass of the gubernatorial campaign is apparently completed and Randy Stufflebeam is the king of the write-ins.

Stufflebeam got 700 votes in McHenry County, which is 0.86% of the total cast for governor. Excluding the 602 votes that are listed but not broken out by candidate, Stuffbeam received 87% of the write-in votes cast for governor in McHenry County.

An early estimate of the percentage of the write-in votes that Stufflebeam would get led me to the 87% to 93% range.

Crystal Laker Mike Shorten came in second with 69 votes or 0.08%.

Libertarian write-in candidate Mark McCoy got 31 votes or 0,04%

McHenry County Clerk Katherine Schultz has posted these results on her McVote web site for the three who were on the ballot:

Topinka - 39,113 or 48%
Blagojevich - 30,317 or 37%
Whitney - 10,750 or 13%

In the battle of the write-in’s, the returns follow:

Randy Stufflebeam - 700
Mike Shorten - 69
Mark McCoy - 31
Angel Rivera - 2
Marvin Koch, Jr. - 1

Another 602 votes are listed as write-ins, but seemingly not itemized.
