Write In Presidential Votes

Most of you guys know I love sports. However, some people may love them too much. Curt Cignetti is the name of the undefeated college (American) football coach in Indiana. They are currently undefeated. After the votes for the presidential election were tallied, almost 500 people (I assume in Indiana) wrote in a vote for President (which is allowed), and they wrote in Curt Cignetti. Now, those 500 votes wouldn’t have made a difference either way, but this made me laugh/groan. Reportedly, they DID responsibly fill out the rest of the ballot, but like millions (yes, millions), they weren’t happy with Kamala or Donald. Please note: this is not a post to fight about who is better/worse. Remember four years ago when rapper Kanye West was on the ballot as an option? He got 400,000 votes!

Many years ago, a donkey won at an election for Mayor I think in Brazil.

@marguicha There is a town in Arkansas that elected an 18 year old young man, who is black, mayor of his town. He’s actually done well. I’ve seen a few towns with donkeys as mayors, but they were donkeys in human form.

@AmbiePam When that happens it is nor funny. Everything has to be in a great mess to end that way.

Famous people who got votes is something that happens time by time. Kanye West may ba a good rapper but he is a horrible person.

Absolutely! The fact that he legitimately made the ballot is an amazement unto itself.

I guess they dislike both so much they just went for humor.

All the survey sites I use many keep asking about both Harris and Trump and what I think of them etc, I am getting tired of that but a penny earned is a penny earned,

I want Bigfoot to win I try to pick the lesser of 2 evils when I don't like either one. At least that way I am not wasting my vote

I do remember Kanye West getting votes for President in 2020. There are internet reports that sports personality Stephen A Smith wants to enter the presidential race in 2028.
