JACKSONVILLE, FL -- The space on the ballot for "write-in" candidates is supposed to be for candidates who qualify based on Florida law.

But it is after all a space labeled "write-in," and frustrated or funny voters sometimes can't resist taking a shot.

The City of Jacksonville has released the write-in results from this year's Presidential election. Only the valid ones were counted, but we did go through the whole list.

The big winner? Hillary Clinton, with 234 votes. A distant second was Ron Paul with 174.

Other politicians got votes as well. Mike Huckabee got 21, Mitt Romney got 14. Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter each got 1 vote, which means they tied former Presidents Roosevelt (Theodore) and Truman, despite the differences in vitality.

Congratulations go to those four distinguished ex-Presidents: they all tied Homer Simpson and lost to Donald Duck, who picked up 3 votes.

As for the headline of this story, God did in fact out-poll Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow, 6-2, by far Tebow's worst loss of the year. We couldn't reach Tebow for comment. God hasn't responded, either.
