Festival "Bean Poll" results

My local Dem organization does summer festivals, and one of our members came up with a "Bean Poll" setup. He gave a scoop of black beans for candidates, and another scoop for important issues. (The scoop was used so kids wouldn't grab handfuls and drop them on the grass.) Education and income inequality were the leading issues. Candidate results shown below.. A few festival goers asked who Sanders, O'Malley, Chafee and Webb were. This is in purple suburbia, not Seattle. (Not at all scientific--the festival lasted three days and there was no way of knowing if people "voted" more than once.)

The only ones that no one didn't ask for information about were Clinton and Biden.
