Letter: Republicans may use their pens

The high-profile splintering has started:

1) On Oct. 9, The Columbian reported that congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Camas, plans to cast a write-in ballot for Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., speaker of the House of Representatives (“Herrera Beutler rejects Trump”).

2) On Oct. 13, NPR reported that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., announced that he plans to cast a write-in ballot for Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Will this result in a massive number of write-in ballots on Election Day? Is this the start of a trend?
