Just say no to Trump and Harris: The write-in imperative

If former President Donald Trump starts tanking in the polls in the aftermath of his egregious Sept. 10 debate performance, disaffected citizens should start an organized write-in vote effort with a real purpose.

Extrapolating from poll data, there is every reason to believe that some 20 million-25 million people would like to vote but are understandably aghast at the presidential tickets offered by both major parties. If those citizens don’t vote at all, or if they write in random politicians’ names or that of Mickey Mouse, their message won’t be clear and the practical effects would be extremely muted. Contrarily, if 20 million people write in the same name, several beneficial results might occur.
