People Are Absolutely Furious Over The Rumor That Harambe Swayed The Election

If you’ve spent any time on social media, you know about a certain trending gorilla. Specifically, Harambe the Gorilla has surfaced in a mysterious rumor that claims he racked up 11,000 votes in the general election. The unfortunate primate grew insanely popular after he was killed in the Cincinnati Zoo when a child fell into his enclosure. Countless memes cherish Harambe, but would people actually vote for him?

Well, the gorilla surfaced in polls, and Paul Ryan may have accidentally endorsed him. All of this was supposed to be a joke until Trump was elected president, and then folks on Twitter started spreading a rumor that Harambe scooped up 11,000 votes, which could have effectively handed some states to Trump. Now that Trump has won, it’s entirely possible that some states saw a notable amount of write-ins to Harambe or another candidate.

This drew votes away from the major party candidates, and folks now blame Harambe. And they’re furious at people who played with their vote. Is this true? Who knows, but it the vast majority of states, write-in candidates won’t be counted. Real or not, people are have an ax to grind.
