It’s been a rather progressive week in politics. Wisconsin elected the nation’s first openly gay senator, Hawaii elected the nation’s first Asian-American female senator, and Virginia came very close to electing the first feline senator. It appears that Hank, the 10-year-old cat who waged a write-in campaign in this year’s Virginia senate race, actually received enough votes to place third, behind former Virginia governors Tim Kaine and George Allen. Hank’s campaign manager, Matthew O’Leary, told the National Constitution Center’s blog that the feline political aspirant received 6,832 votes as of Thursday, not counting absentee and provisional ballots. As the folks at Constitution Center point out, Virginia’s official election results don’t list write-in candidates like Hank, so it’s not yet certain that Hank indeed placed third. But given the number of write-in votes he received, it seems likely. O’Leary hopes to determine a final vote count by Tuesday, Nov. 13, when all the state’s precincts are required to file their results.
