How many write-in votes will Cruz get?

[Xing]

Surely the only former candidate who's a Real Conservative™ has to get some votes.

[ElectionsGuy]

I'm sure he'll get a few from his family.

[Senator-elect Spark]

50

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Fewer than Bernie.

What states would actually count the write-ins and which states would throw them out without counting them?

There's only 7 for unregistered candidates.

There's only 7 for unregistered candidates.

So:
Vermont
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
Iowa
Oregon

Most of these states he got crushed in during the primaries.  Honestly looks like his total would just be a couple hundred, maybe in the low thousands.

Iowa is about the only good one for him. McMullin is on the ballot there, which could draw some people away from Cruz.

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

If he mounts a campaign to solicit write-ins, around 5000.

Unsolicited write-ins: around 500.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Enough to win the election in a landslide, of course.

[Ricky1121]

Very, very little. He is viewed very unfavorably in his home state of Texas now, and Rick Perry could unseat him in a hypothetical senate race.

[Eraserhead]

He probably won't get 1/10th of the write-ins that Bernie Sanders will get. Of course, we'll never know the exact numbers anyway.

That looks like a pretty strong line-up for Sanders write-ins though. I wonder if he'll actually get over 1% as a write-in in Vermont...

This is a good reference for estimating how many votes write-ins typically get.  As it says, italic numbers are write-ins:
