COLORADO -- A celebrity who was on the ballot in Colorado but never campaigned got more than 4,600 votes for president.

Comedian Roseanne Barr, who's best known for her self-titled TV show "Roseanne," is also a TV show producer.

She announced her candidacy for president in 2011 and won the Peace and Freedom Party nomination after losing the Green Party's ticket.

Barr did not campaign and was only on the ballot in California, Florida and Colorado. She finished fifth in the popular vote with more than 40,000 votes nationwide, including 4,653 in Colorado.

A total of 417 people filed paperwork to run for president, but most did not make it on the ballot in any state.
