Miano Elementary School in Los Banos, California, held a mock election, with these results: Hillary Clinton 505; Gloria La Riva of the Party for Socialism and Liberation 60; Gary Johnson 35; Donald Trump 24; Jill Stein 17. Also these write-ins: Bernie Sanders 4, and one each for President Obama, Jesus, and a unicorn. See this story.
Its sad to see that one write-in student that didn’t take this election seriously. I mean come on, Obama?, its like they havn’t even heard of the 22nd amendment.
I already voted this morning, but I wish I had known beforehand that I could have chosen a unicorn instead of the candidates who were actually on the ballot.

Richard did Gloria’s people send you this piece ? For those out-of-state and/or unfamiliar with California Los Banos is in San Joaquin County in the Central Valley of California in the heart of Agriculture Country. The vast majority of the people that live there are Chicano. I’m willing to bet more than 50 of the 60 people who voted for Gloria have no clue of what the Party for Socialism and Liberation is about. They voted for Gloria based upon her surname.
What’s pathetic is almost 80% voted for Clinton. The Republicans couldn’t beat a drum in this state but the herd follows the Democrats right over the cliff. This is why the “Safe State Strategy” is such a fraudulent con.
