Over the past two weeks, Muppet fans around the world have done their patriotic duty to nominate and then vote in the primaries for the ToughPigs Presidency. Yes, it’s important. No, we didn’t just make it up. There have been Muppets in positions of power since the 1700s, and we’re proud to continue the tradition to today.
From over 3,500 Muppet characters, we nominated 177, which was then whittled down to 31. And now, just 3. Here are your final nominees!
- The Muppet Party – Rowlf the Dog
- The Sesame Party – Prairie Dawn
- The Henson Party – Bear
Not seeing your favorite candidate above? Don’t worry, you’ll have a write-in option to vote for whichever Muppet you want. They probably won’t win, but hey, that’s democracy for ya.
You now have one week to cast your vote for which of these three worthy candidates you think should be the next ToughPigs President! Click here to cast your vote. And although we’re doing away with certain familiar voting regulations like citizenship and age, we still insist that we keep this to one vote per person.
