Interesting thing about write-ins: different spellings of the same name get entered into the logs as if they are different people. So he could get enough write-ins to win, but not really if 10% or so were misspelled. Likewise with initials. So, cumulatively, B.H. Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Obama, Barach Obama, etc., could get enough votes, but each would be counted as a different candidate. At least, that is the way it works in my state.

I don’t know how it works other places, but seems like when they were having the big vote-count dispute in Alaska some months ago, they were COUNTING anything that remotely resembled the one (DNC) candidate’s name.
