    Nobody told me the Lizard people were eligible! I thought you had to be born in the US to be president. Ok, well, I suppose if they were brought here as eggs and hatched here that counts too. And here I wasted my vote on The New Jersey Devil, bane of the Pine Barrens.


    Bummer.

    Man, you have Lizard People running for office in the US? Couldn't do that in Canada. You ever take a lizard person ice fishing? Not a pretty sight.


    No, up here, it's the sasquatches and polar bears we gotta worry about. Oh, and the Walrus people. Can't forget the Walrus people. Shai-Hulud of the north, we calls 'em...

    @Anekanta: What about the Lemon Party? And the Rhinoceros vote? Not to mention all those people who voted to name the residual Northwest Territories "Bob" after Bob and Doug MacKenzie?

    This is why Democrats lose elections. I'm sure there aren't any Republicans who were torn between Norm Coleman and Zombie Horde.


    Edit: Although there was probably a few Republicans who were thinking of voting for (Sweet Zombie) Jesus.

    @Sevius: I don't think this guy is exactly a committed Democrat. He voted "Lizard people" for President over Obama. He's probably just a committed stoner, who voted for Franken because he's a comedian.


    If he lived in California, I'm guessing he'd write in "The Terminator" for governor.

    @rufustfyrfly: He voted for Franken because that's even funnier and less appropriate than Lizard People.

    Wouldn't that violate the principal of "separation of Zombie Church and State?"

    Nope, he clearly write-in voted for "Lizard People" for prez (above) but didn't bubble it in for senator.

    It won't be so funny when Al Franken loses by one vote.

    As a Minnesotan...I'm surprisingly not embarassed, but rather amused. It shows that we do have a sense of humor afterall, though it can oftentimes be expressed in unusual (and perhaps in this case, inappropriate) ways.


    I think the reason why it's considered an overvote is because the person wrote in "Lizard People" for the Senate too, even though they voted for Franken.


    It's a tough call...but I probably would count it. I mean, in Florida, they counted write-votes for Donald Duck and Bill O'Reilly.

    @Erinaceus: Word on the street is that this was a U. Minn. student from New York who just registered in MN so that his vote "would count."*


    Sorry, Minnesotans are still humorless.

    The problem was that the voter wrote-in "Lizard People."


    Lizard Person would have been fine.


    (And consistent with a mark next to either candidate in this particular race.)
