Napoleon, Duggan appear headed for November showdown for Detroit mayor amid flood of write-ins

Napoleon, Duggan appear headed for November showdown for Detroit mayor amid flood of write-ins | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
“My opponent went out and aired negative ads,” Duggan said. “Then, out of the city’s 500,000 registered voters, they found Mike Dugeon.”
With 100% of the precincts reporting, Napoleon had 28,352 votes or 30% of the total votes cast, to 50,328 votes or 53% for write-in candidates, with Duggan presumably garnering the vast majority of those.
Duggan said about 97% of write-ins were correctly spelled for Duggan.
The Mike Dugeon he referenced is a 31-year old barber who was added as a write-in candidate one day before the deadline."

So a last minute "dirty trick" by the black candidate, Napoleon, is just brushed off as a non-event?
Imagine if the cheating was against the black candidate.
