"I don't like either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, so I'm going to write in Mickey Mouse for president!"
- Thousands of write-in votes cast on Election Day
- Bernie Sanders, Mickey Mouse among invalid write-ins
- Complete Election 2016 results
Chances are you've heard someone say they wrote in Mickey Mouse on their ballot as a protest to the other candidates running for office.
The 88-year-old Mr. Mouse was not the only candidate to get write-in votes on Election Day.
Bill Cowles, Orange County's Supervisor of Elections, provided a list of all of the "invalid write-in names" from the November 2016 election.
In Florida, write-in candidates must register to be considered. If the voter doesn't get that registered write-in candidate's name exactly right, the vote will not count.
No joke: Mickey Mouse got 1,103 write-in votes in Orange County alone, for such races as President, Senator, Congress, State Attorney, Tax Collector, and Property Appraiser.
There were some other creative names on the list of invalid write-in candidates. Here are some of the more notable ones:
Bernie Sanders - Sanders actually got the most votes of all the write-in candidates for President, 1,589. Sanders was not a qualified candidate for the general election in Florida.
Evan McMullin - McMullin placed second in Orange County, garnering 849 votes for President. While McMullin was a qualified candidate in other states, not so in Florida, so his votes did not count in the Sunshine State.
Mickey Mouse - 64 votes for the Disney legend for president. Mickey got 519 votes for State Attorney, and 307 votes for Tax Collector.
Earl K. Wood - speaking of the Tax Collector race, 134 voters decided that Wood, who died in 2014, would be a better choice than current Tax Collector Scott Randolph.
Harambe the Gorilla - the gorilla who was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo earlier this year was a popular choice, appearing 101 times across eight different races.
Theo Epstein - 4 votes for President. Hey, he turned around the Cubs... why not the White House?
Batman/Bruce Wayne - 37 votes overall for the Caped Crusader. One question: would the taxpayer have to fund Batcave construction under the White House?
Former Presidents - George Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Dwight Eisenhower, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington all received votes.
Pat Paulsen - What would a presidential election be without a vote for perennial candidate Paulsen? The comedian, who famously appeared on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," actually ran for President six times between 1968 and 1992. He did not win in any of those years. Paulsen died in 1997.
Giant Meteor - Originally a social media meme, three votes for Giant Meteor were tallied in the Presidential race... those voters preferring global obliteration than having to vote for Trump or Clinton.
Tom Brady - Only two votes cast for the New England Patriots quarterback. A deflating political experience, to be sure.
Lou Frey & Dick Batchelor - News 13's stalwart political analysts received the nod... Frey for President, and Batchelor for State Attorney.
Just a couple of Joes - Joe Blow, Joe Cool, Joe Dirt, Joe Schmoe, Joe Smith and Joe the Plumber, not to mention Joe Biden and Joe Montana.
Lest Ye Not Judge - Judicially speaking, voters were OK with Judge Judy, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Judge Mathis and Judge Dredd.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - The Jedi Master received three votes overall... the Force was not strong with Kenobi's campaign.
Bozo the Clown - (insert incredibly easy political joke HERE)
Your Mom / Your Mama - Maybe we'll just stop right here and revisit this all again in 2018.
