A vote of no confidence
November 13th, 2006 | by jg3 |How can you absolutely know that your vote didn’t get counted in last week’s election? You vote for yourself and look for your name in the outcome. That’s what Randy Wooten did. In a display of Arkansan ingenuity that makes me proud, he voted for himself to be mayor and, sure enough, the official tally showed him with zero votes. And with only 32 votes reported in his county, being off by one is a margin of about 3%.

And yes, the county he lives in used those electronic voting machines you’ve heard so much about.
