The midterm elections are upon us, and with some SEC fans feeling a bit unsatisfied with the options they were given on the ballot, they have decided to write in some more preferable options.
And we’re not just talking about Nick Saban receiving hundreds of votes, which he typically does every election cycle. This is the SEC faithful digging deep and searching for the right candidate, even on down-ballot races.
First, Amari Cooper is already in the running for the Heisman, but at least one Alabamian believes he should be angling for an even higher prize — the governor’s office.

But it looks like Cooper’s going to have to beat out a certain Alabama native and former Auburn basketball star if he’s going to take the state’s highest office.
I hope the rest of you did your civic duty and submitted your ballots with Charles Barkley as the write-in for Governor. #ALPolitics

Next, Lane Kiffin is no stranger to new jobs, although he seems to have really found a home as Alabama’s offensive coordinator. But at least one Floridian couldn’t cast a ballot without voting for Kiffin for, well, something. And no, it wasn’t for Will Muschamp’s job at UF, although the Gators would probably welcome that possibility at this point.

Suspended Georgia running back Todd Gurley got some votes, too, as did Muschamp, in Georgia.

So, whoever you’re voting for, make it count, even if it’s for a junior wide receiver from Florida who happens to play in Alabama.
