Exactly. I don’t know if my state allows write-ins. We have new electronic machines and everyone hates them. We were told that “supplementary” ballots are seldom counted.
Every ballot category has a "write in" button on the touch screen. If you touch that a Q-W-E-R-T-Y keyboard apppears and you type the name. Voila!
I've used that feature in almost every election since we got them--I'm one of those mavericks, you know.
