That's right! Power to the people. In this case, the Lizard People.
Because my main man Mike Gravel rocked the vote in the great City of New York this past November 4th, receiving 3 write-in votes for President, 2 in Brooklyn and 1 in Manhattan.
More NYC write-ins below the fold (I have a serious diary I'm working on, but I sure won't be posting it on Christmas Eve. I'm sure that even a site full of godforsaken secular progressives has its traffic reduced that night, especially since most of the other Kossacks are probably out at a Chinese restaurant)
Vito Fossella managed to get 14 write-in votes for his old House seat-perhaps his other illegitimate children we don't know about were casting ballots????
New York is (with the exception of those crazy Staten Islanders) basically a People's Republic, and as such, various prominent current/former-Communists written in by YOU!!!!!!!!!!
