It's the only way we can get an honest election.
The process would take weeks.
Every ballot hand-processed and counted while on camera
with observers.
This is what Trump should push for, and make it clear to
the people that every ballot will be hand-counted this way.
Go for it! But, just to warn you, it won't back it up as much as you seem to want. They'll get a total number of write-ins electronically and if they total don't add up to more than the winning number of votes they'll be able to call a winner. It will just take a while finalize it, is all.

Yes, the do before the election is finalized. I've been an election officer the last couple of elections. In our county, and I assume the rest of the state, the voter marks on the scantron they are writing in a candidate so they know at the end of the day how many there are.

I have done write-in in the past...it is a very simple process....at least in my county, especially now with electronic voting...you've already got a writing instrument in hand.
The GOP is screwed if they try to take the nomination away from Trump.
All Trump has to do is walk away and run as an independent. He has already gotten 2 billion dollars of free media coverage and enough supporters to help carry him and you know if he walked and ran as an independent that it would the biggest story of the decade and not only would he get a great deal of additional coverage and supporters but the GOP would simply implode and the vote would be split. If that happens then Hillary is sure to win and Trump wont feel bad because he can then blame his loss on the GOP establishment and not chalk it up as his own failure.
Basically Trump has all the power and control and they hate it because he is telling them either get behind him and totally support him or else .. I believe the GOP will not get behind him and he will go independent and it will be over. There is no way for Ted Cruz to carry anything and a split vote would even cause Cruz to lose.

They're screwed if he's their nominee. If he loses the general, he'll likely take the GOP House and Senate majorities down with him. If he wins the general, he's a loose cannon in terms of SCOTUS and other appointments and executive decisions.

What do you suggest they do ? Run someone against HRC/Bernie that the people of the U.S. didn't vote for in the primaries and won't in the general ? Trump has spurred record GOP/Independent turnout in the GOP primaries and has 2 million plus more popular votes than Cruz.
Do you honestly think Cruz / Kasich / Rubio or anyone else who have a snowball's chance in h*ll of beating HRC on November ? The RNC ought to be working with Trump not against him. The GOP base in America currently wants Trump ...
