Here Are Some Noteworthy Write-In Votes During Philadelphia’s May 2022 Primary

It’s that time of the year again when the good people over at City Hall send me spreadsheets of every write-in vote cast in the recent election. For the May 2022 primary, there was an ton of such votes cast. Here are the ones I deemed noteworthy broken down by the race itself.

There’s the tried-and-true sports related votes (most of the Sixers roster got at least a vote with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey leading the way, as well as most of the 2008 World Series Champion Philadelphia Phillies) as well as substantial support for Gritty per usual.

Obviously, I didn’t tally the most recent insurrection-fomenting, one-term president* in this list (or his family members), because they’re awful people, as are those who wrote them in.

Of note is the fact that many Twitter folks received support, as did I — garnering one vote for governor (thanks, supporter)!
