Mickey Mouse for President (And Senate and Congress): Write-ins in Apple Valley

During this election, write-in favorite Mickey Mouse was in good company.

Believe it or not, at least one Apple Valley voter hit the polls simply to vote for Boba Fett, who is described as "all business, laconic, and deadly" in customized Mandalorian armor (take that Romney). That's right: Someone out there took at least an hour out of their day to cast a ballot for a Star Wars character, for both president and city council. And someone else thought that maybe a binge-eating Muppet or famous actress Scarlett Johanssen might liven up city hall a bit (nice try).
