Spiderman for president?

The tale of Shelby County’s write-in votes
Some Shelby Countians wrote in Donald Duck for hospital board, late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon for state rep., and Jesus Christ for president

    COUNTY – The general election is over, and in reflection it’s interesting to note how some Shelby County voters chose to cast ballots for not the candidates, but for write-ins they saw as more qualified than those on the ticket.
    Shelby County Election Commissioner Marsha Carter said it isn’t unusual in any election for voters to offer their support for everyone from celebrities and fictional characters to the ever-popular “none of the above.”  It’s a little puzzling that voters cast ballots that way, she said, but it happens all across the country.
