It’s been a few weeks since the midterm elections took place in Fulton County.
The county's residents overwhelmingly voted for Democrat Stacey Abrams, but Georgia as a whole elected Republican Brian Kemp to be the state's next governor. The race ended with Kemp at 1,978,408 votes, Abrams with 1,923,685 and Libertarian Ted Metz with 37,235.
Hundreds of voters in Fulton decided to express their ideals another way entirely, by casting an ineligible ballot for someone else — fictional characters, athletes, long dead public figures — instead of choosing one of the human candidates offered.
