Cartoon Characters and Sports Heroes on the Ballot

In Nov. 8-period thread about voting, someone asked for examples of the silly write-in entries I saw at mine. It wasn't as wide-ranging or impulsive as the last primary. Voters seemed to take this election more seriously.

We did see:

  • 1 for Ray Flynn for US House
  • Several to the effect I-don't-like-any-of-the-choices
  • 1 Sponge Bob Square Pants for POTUS
  • 1 God for POUTS
  • 1 Michelle Obama for POTUS
  • A voter who wrote in David Ortiz or Big Papi (alternating) for each elected office
  • 1 Tom Brady for POTUS

We had far fewer write-in votes than in a typical elections, Only one cartoon character, if you exempt Curt Schilling. He got got for POTUS.
