In DeKalb County, you had your expected write-in candidates for president, such as Green Party contender Jill Stein and independent Evan McMullin.
Other voters were reaching a bit with their choice — Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Michelle Obama — but still seemed relatively grounded in reality, apart from the fact that those people weren't running.
Then there were the voters who were apparently so dissatisfied with the choices before them they decided to go another way entirely.
The evidence is abundant in the 143 pages of write-in candidates released Monday afternoon.
