i dont even know if write-ins actually count as votes, like can someone actually win through write in votes? (theoretically I mean)

They do if the candidate has official write-in status, like the map indicates. If the majority writes in a random celebrity who happens to win, it doesnt count if they didn't go through the state's processes.

And there are some states that outright don't even allow write-ins.
