‘Simpsons’ nuclear power tycoon outpolls Derek Jeter, Sleeping Beauty

Excellent! Fictional cartoon millionaire Charles Montgomery Burns scored the most write-in votes for mayor of New York, collecting 25, according to Board of Elections data.

Close to 300 votes in last month’s election were write-ins, just a small fraction of the 1.1 million votes cast. Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees was the only athlete on the list, but he declined to comment when the News asked whether he will have a political future or whether he wrote in his own name.

Former presidents won some votes. Honest Abe Lincoln received a write-in from a Queens resident, and three other voters selected former President Bill Clinton.

Some voters wanted to give former mayors a second chance. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani collected 10 votes, while David Dinkins and Ed Koch each received one.
