CEDAR RAPIDS - Each time a voter chooses to write-in a candidate, the Linn County Auditors office has to mark it down and count it.

Friday, the auditors office released all of those names. Some of the silliest names for Sheriff are: Dirk Digger, Minnie Mouse and Ozzy Osbourne - Ozzy got 2 votes.

For Auditor, Sarah Palin got 1 vote, and so did Stoney the Cat.

Here's a link to Linn County Auditor Joel Miller's blog, with all the documents attached.
