3. And the "write-in" votes for people not actually on the ballot.

That's the "vanity" vote. Those are the ones who intentionally burn down their own house and call it "redecorating".

Or they'll bulldoze their home because a leaky faucet needed repair "from the ground up".

It's short-sighted, and the author of the OP's essay captured everything perfectly in their description and analysis.
