Bullwinkle still a hit along with Daffy Duck, but some vote for ‘No One’

Apparently some Marion County voters were not thrilled with anyone for county attorney.
Incumbent Joel Ensey got 112 votes for county attorney. That is not enough to reach the 5% of registered voters needed to have his name appear on the November ballot. For that, he would have needed 384 votes.
“There will be a blank line on the ballot,” county clerk Tina Spencer said. “Whoever gets the most votes wins.”
Bullwinkle, Alfred E. Newman, NA, Person, Pedro, and “Hi” each got a write-in vote. Mickey Mouse got two votes, and “None” got five.
Non-candidate Robert Brookens got 23 votes for the position.
Former county attorney Susan Robson got 34 votes. Susan Roberson got two votes and Susan Robinson got 3.
