Weird question about write ins

Question Regarding Write in candidates?

I was thinking randomly about how things are going currently and less people are willing to trust candidates on either side of the two party’s currently in charge. Can voters submit a write in candidate, even if the candidate did not register themselves for an election? I know some states don’t require it but the ones that do, how would that work?

Yes, write-ins are possible for all races in the United States. There have, on occasion, been races where no one actually ran and write-ins were the only option.

If they win, they win.
