Election 2016: Ken Bone casts his vote but refuses to say if it's for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump

Ken Bone, the 34-year-old undecided voter whose 15-minutes of fame originates from the second presidential debate, finally cast his vote on Election Day.

The mustachioed power plant worker showed up to the polls on Tuesday in his infamous blood-red IZOD sweater to cast his vote — but he isn’t admitting who he actually voted for.

"I did vote, but I am not telling anyone for who," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "I put a lot of thought into it, and I feel good." The Shiloh, Illinois resident doubled down on his secrecy in a separate interview with Belleville News-Democrat.

“In a lot of interviews, people for some reason want to hear my opinion,” he told the newspaper. “I’m still not telling anybody who I’m voting for, but I’m really glad that a lot of people seemed to have heard the message from myself and others.”

“It’s very important that they get out and vote,” he explained. “We have a lot of people here and I just couldn’t be happier about it.”
