Hoax 1996 TAFF ballot
The 1996 TAFF Race (boringly run between Martin Tudor beat M. J. "Simo" Simpson also featured an amusing hoax ballot, see below. We do not as yet know the source of the ballot or even its date, but it is supposedly from Abigail Frost and Dan Steffan (though this is unlikely).
Note that all three of the "candidates" are pseudonyms of R. Lionel Fanthorpe, a...prolific...British writer. And the nominators are also all pseudonyms of other people. The platforms are, presumably, all from Fanthorp's writing, though it's hard to imagine anyone with the fortitude to search out the sources. And the ballot's version of the TAFF voting rules and procedures which should be more widely adopted (e.g., signing the secret ballots to make sure they are real, and using the New Zealand ballot system to guarantee and confusing runoff.)
