Lol since I haven't lost enough followers yet let me just come out and say that if you voted third-party in 2016, don't think I've dropped the grudge, or will ever drop it, and I don't give a fuck what color your state went "I'm sick of being blamed for Trump wah wah" eat shit

In most states, they check to see if the write-in is one of the qualified write-in candidates (you have to send a letter declaring your intent to seek the office despite having missed the deadline to be on the ballot) and if it isn't they ignore it

The general consensus is that even just from a standpoint of maximizing democracy this is a fair minimum requirement, to make sure whoever wins the election is someone who wants the job (and so you know the actual identity of the write-in candidate if it's a common name)
