Photos are circulating on social media of people voting for Harambe, the gorilla who was shot dead at the Cincinnati Zoo in May, as a write-in.
There are now reports circulating that more than 14,000 people voted for Harambe as the next president of the United States.
People were furious.
A lot of people felt that the votes for Harambe had gone to waste and could have impacted the results of the election.
America: "we must not let Trump become president!!!" Also America:
Some, however, couldn't resist the urge to make jokes.
The 11,000 number appears to have been made popular through this tweet, which was retweeted more than 58,000 times.
An Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account later tweeted a "report" that Harambe received more than 14,000 votes.
However, voting for a write-in candidate is a lot more complicated than simply writing down a name on the ballot.
First, write-ins are only allowed in some states.
Furthermore, in most states that allow write-ins, candidates are required to file paperwork months ahead of the election in order to have their votes tallied.
Votes for candidates who did not file will be lumped together into a single "other" category.
