Before Jim Kenney became your next Mayor in a huge landslide, Howard Eskin was running a write-in campaign. Well, he was actually selling Eskin for Mayor shirts (that raised money for CHOP), but he got a couple of votes anyway. How many? According to Brian Hickey, Eskin accumulated around 25 votes in the 216-page stack provided to the PhillyVoice. Those estimated 25 write-in votes are roughly 24 more than these mayoral candidates received:

  •  Mumia Abu-Jamal
  • Baby Pope
  • Barack Obama
  • Deez Nuts

And when you expand that to include votes for other offices, Eskin had 24 more votes than:

  • Jerome Brown
  • Cheesegod 69
  • Donald Duck
  • Bill Cosby
  • Brock Lesnar
  • Allen Iverson
  • Mickey Morandini
  • Adolf Hitler
  • Your Mom

 
That’s surprising. I really thought Your Mom would get more votes. Honestly.
