Liner Notes (January 3)
Senator Billy Joel from…Alabama?!
Even though numerically and legally this wasn’t going to happen, it’s always interesting to see the write-in results of any election.
In the recently released election results from the Alabama special Senate election between Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore, there were about 23,000 write-in candidates and among them was the Piano Man himself, even though he’s not a citizen of Alabama. Other write-in names included Charles Barkley, Ellen DeGeneres, Tyler Perry, Kermit the Frog and, of course, Santa Claus.
