In script, it could look like an "e." I think the problem arises when a mandate comes down from the state that says "the write-in candidate's name must be spelled correctly" but then doesn't provide a scientific way to do it. I could go along with using those little boxes--one letter to a box--and each letter has to be upper case. Then, have the ballot be read by an optical scanner, completely objectively. All ballots that come out with the name "Lisa Murkowski" get tabulated for her. If the scanner reads "Lisa Murkowske" then that goes into a different pile, and does not get added to the first group.
