Aaron Rodgers didn’t get as many write-in votes as Harambe, but he’s not mad. More than a few people picked the Packers quarterback to be President of the United States, but even more voters picked Harambe. Rodgers thanked the voters and did not contest the results.

“I just want to thank all the voters out there who did vote for me,” Rodgers said. “I know for some people it was between me and Harambe. I think I finished second in that vote.”
