In the Trump’s America where the politically enthusiasts are full on discussing the future of the country, a unique incident took place in a small town in Vermont.

In a unique poll, conducted on Tuesday, a goat name ‘Lincoln’ defeated as many as 15 other candidates which included several dogs and cats.

It all started when Joseph Gunter read in a newspaper about a village of Omena, Michigan, which had made Sweet Tart, the cat, as its “top” official, he got the idea to organize a similar election with an aim to raise funds for establishing a playground.

The goat, which belongs to a school math teacher, will get an education in the town’s major festivals which it will represent during its one-year mandate: “Memorial Day parade, the Apple Fest and the events we organize every Friday in the summer,” Gunter says.

Though the fundraising event raised only about $100, at five dollars per candidate, Gunter was not bleating according to an AFP report, as he says the animal election was also “a good way to get the kids involved in local government.”
