It happens frequently in my county, as well. Writing in is not fun on one of those electronic machines, especially when they're old, dilapidated ones, like we have here. But, I consider that no vote is still a vote for the republican, and there's no way in hell i'm going to let that happen, even though my write-ins have zero chance of winning.
