Fun with Write-Ins (AL Senate Race Edition)
Via the NYT: Write-In Results From Alabama Senate Race Are In. And They’re Downright Weird.
What do Robert E. Lee, SpongeBob SquarePants, Nick Saban, Jesus Christ and George C. Wallace have in common?
They, like Roy Moore, will not be the next Senator from the state of Alabama. (And, really, if JC can take the hint, Moore should stop trying to involve God in the whole mess).
Voters did not always rely on the creativity of Walt Disney or the stars of “Looney Tunes.” In Madison County, which includes Huntsville and is the states’s third most populous, voters had plenty of their own proposals for senator.
“A Better Choice” won a vote. “A Normal Republican, Please” got another. “Someone with Integrity” picked up a vote, as did “Robocall.” “Neither” managed four votes — the same tally that “No One,” “None,” “Nope” and “Not These Two” pulled together combined.
The public will have to guess about the “winners” of three Madison County votes that were “not listed due to graphic language.”
No votes for Chad? Wasn’t he hanging around the polling place?
The Ghost of Stonewall Jackson did well from what I hear.
