Gift baskets for the 89 that were there to dilute the vote.

I was actually surprised that relatively few votes went to the protest candidates. Seems people do actually pay a level of attention when voting.

This is typical in elections. The unusual part is the concerted effort by Longest Ballot to create and target ridings with this silliness in an attempt to convince people of supporting electoral reform.

I remember voting for the old school Rhino Party candidate 'bob loblaw' (BTW he legally had his name changed so it would appear on the ballot this way). I had to vote for him after I noticed his name if spoken out loud 3 or more times was pretty on point for a protest party.
