CNN reports that in the recent elections for the Mayor of New York, Charles Montgomery Burns, better known as Mr. Burns in the hit animated TV series “The Simpsons”, got the most votes of any write-in candidate during last month’s mayoral election in New York City. According to records released by the New York City Board of Elections, the cartoon billionaire received 27 write-in votes out of the 299 that were cast.

Although Burns finishes just under 586,000 votes behind eventual winner, fellow billionaire Michael Bloomberg, he managed to finish ahead of a whole range of well known opponents, including Fantastic Four arch-villain Victor Von Doom, Mickey Mouse, Sleeping Beauty, Bill and Hillary Clinton, former Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt, and Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
