Handle write-in candidates?

[kfogel]

It would be good for E-Vote to handle write-in candidates (er, "type-in" I guess).

This is tricky to get right: if someone is typing in a candidate's name, you'd want auto-completion so that later voters writing in that name match whatever spelling earlier voters used. BUT, that's a privacy violation -- no information should pass between ballots like that while an election is in progress, right? So it's not easy to get the UI on this right; probably most of the work would have to happen on the results-calculation side, maybe with some field where someone counting could enter regexps to group variant spellings together among the write-ins.
