the Republicans wouldn't be taking this exact same course of action.

The law is the law. And they're the "law and order" party, aren't they? As noted, it doesn't stop Drumpf fans from writing in their candidate.

There is also a write-in spot. No one is being denied a choice.

The Republicans didn't follow the law. Do you think that's a problem?

Have to get 5 letters in a row right and all that. Chances of that occurring is 1 in 5^26 power = 1 in 1.49 * 10^18 = 1 in 1.49 quadrillion quintillion. And that's assuming they got the "5 letters" part right.
