Herschel Walker Shocked That He Didn't Receive 100% Of Vote

Although Walker did get 74% of the vote there in deep red Johnson County, a rural county in central Georgia, it wasn't enough for Walker. “I’m gonna call the sheriff and have him find out who didn’t vote for me,” Walker said, according to an aide.

He had been hoping to follow in the footsteps of Herschel Vespasian Johnson, the founder of Johnson County and perhaps Walker's namesake. Via Wikipedia, [Johnson] "was the 41st Governor of Georgia from 1853 to 1857 and the vice presidential nominee of the Douglas wing of the Democratic Party in the 1860 U.S. presidential election. He also served as one of Georgia's Confederate States senators." And of course he was also a slaveowner, with 115 slaves to his name, according to the slave schedule of the U.S. census.

But really, I'm not sure why Herschel Walker should be so upset. After all, he lives in Dallas, not Georgia.

As the votes rolled in last month, Walker was fixated on the results from one precinct: Johnson County, the location of his hometown of Wrightsville.
