write in votes

When I voted this morning, I noted a number of races with the "Write In Vote" option.  I know that "Write In Votes" are not tallied and the names not alphabetized and made available.

What is the point of offering a "Write In Vote" if you do not even present the raw number of "Write In Votes" for each race?

I think that presenting the number of Write In Votes is in the interest of being transparent.

(I wrote this note today and sent it to the Kansas Secretary of State.)
