WRITE IN VOTES CAN BE PRETTY FUNNY

WRITE IN VOTES CAN BE PRETTY FUNNY http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/06/25/what-is-it-about-soccer-that-brings-out-the-hooligan-in-its-fans.html "Colombian fans celebrated their team’s first World Cup victory in 16 years on June 14 by giving the team’s coach, Jose Pekerman, more than 400,000 write-in votes in the upcoming presidential election."l http://wonkette.com/489403/a-childrens-treasury-of-ridiculous-write-in-votes-against-georgia-congressman-and-witchfinder-general-paul-broun "This time around, the gentleman scholar from Athens ran unopposed for his seat in the House — but that does not mean people did not oppose him. This post was originally about how 4,000 voters wrote in “Charles Darwin” against Broun, because how sad is that, that the poor libruls have given up fielding candidates and are now just voting for dead scientists." http://www.mdjonline.com/view/full_story/8937814/article-Write-in-votes-show-funny--dissatisfied-sides-of-voters "And voters' dissatisfaction with the printed choice of either Tim Lee or Larry Savage for chairman can be seen in the random write-ins, with a total 21 such votes essentially for anyone else. Some of those write-ins included: "None of the Above" with five votes, "Anyone Else" with four votes, "Me" with four votes, "No One" with two votes, and "Incumbents Stink," "Anyone But Lee," "John Q Anybodyelse," "N/A" and "No Confidence" each with one vote." More of us should be doing this! There's no excuse not to vote! http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/05/21/who-voted-for-idaho-s-weirdo-candidates-for-governor.html
