Here the argument will be that because the law is written as it is (no new candidates on the ballot 51 days before and election) that the voters have no real choice, and that's not fair. Sure the voters have a choice. If the dems were honorable, they'd start a write-in campaign ASAP for their candidate of choice rather than to try to break the law.

I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just predicting what the argument is going to be. They will say that "reality" dictates that a write in candidate is not a "choice". They will also use the argument that a write-in campaign would create chaos, as it will take forever to count write ins, and "interpret" the "voters intent" (i.e. what happens if a name is badly misspelled, or what about the poor immigrants who can't write in English)
