My mind always goes back to Lisa Murkowski getting reelected in 2010 as a write-in candidate after being primaries by a Tea Party Republican. I remember them placing a lot of emphasis on people spelling her name right.

I guess the short answer to your question though is that write in rules vary according to each state's election laws.
