No. If you do not write in her name, she does not get the vote.

Apparently you live no where near TX CD-22 district, as Sekula-Gibbs' campaign and other Republican groups have gone all out to instruct everyone with a brain how to "vote twice for Shelley, once in the special election and again writing her in in the general election ballot." The obnoxious radio and TV ads alone painfully remind people to do the write in also.

The Hart E-Slate or E-Scan voting options require the write-in to be added beyond the straight party vote selection.
