Sure, you can write in your *real* choice, but what
good does that do if they don't count it?
When we lived in Florida, there was a spot for you
to write your choice in, but the State of Florida
didn't count write-ins.
What they'd do if 100% of the electorate voted for
someone besides the Party candidates would make for
an(other) interesting historical footnote.
