Instead of writing in a useless vote, why not vote for his opponent and get him out of there? I mean it's cute and all, but not as useful and unseating him. If he was running unopposed, use the drive that they put out to get people to vote for Darwin to write in an actual living person.

People outside of his district can vote in that election? Huh. Here in my state, you can only vote for the representative running for your district.

It's kind of scary that there's people out here who decry ALL forms of science even though they are surrounded by products of that science. You can't tell me this guy doesn't have a phone, use the internet, ride elevators, drive, etc. /smh

OP this is the same story but with a slightly different angle and includes a partial list of some of the other write-ins

IDK, Athens-Clarke County voters. Wouldn't Voldemort run on an anti-science platform, too?

Cthulhu smites those who think He is a minor enough evil to serve as an elected official.

Obi-wan would be good on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, though. Good choice.
