Letter: Give us presidential write-in

Not wishing to give my support to Hillary, Donald, or any of the others on the ballot for president, I was determined to exercise my voting privilege with the write-in candidate of my choice.

However, the ballot did not include a write-in space for president.

When I questioned the “official” in charge, he informed me that South Carolina law does not permit “write-ins” for president even though there are write-ins allowed for U.S. Senate and House. How can that be?
