“Who isn’t going to write in Trump?”
Write-ins rarely are looked at, much less tabulated. People need to UNDERSTAND this before election day.
If they think they are being too cute by half with their defiant little write-ins, it could be a disaster.
We all need to check on what the different states’ Election Codes, policies, and procedures are. Also how things are handled at the local Counting Centers, and precincts. Find out the process for writing in a name. If there is one, great! Find out if the ballot would be counted. Find out if the entire ballot will be set aside, which also negates down-ballot races and issues.
Think back to the times we’ve voted by machine, with dials, punches, etc. There’s no method for writing in anything. No keyboard, no paper to actually write on, etc.
“They” are counting on people planning to do write-ins and they will have the last laugh.

I’ve tried to tell people this. I gave up trying any more.
