Man Fails in Uncontested School Board Race

Carl Miner of Blytheville has gotten a very important lesson on why voters should go to the polls .

Miner was on Tuesday's ballot, unopposed for a school board seat in south Mississippi County. No one voted for him -- and the candidate didn't even cast a ballot for himself.

Officials say Tuesday was the first time in Mississippi County an entire precinct didn't vote.

Miner was running to represent the Luxora area on the South Mississippi County School Board.

Miner says he tried to vote but the polling place near his zone was closed. He says he thinks he gets the seat because no one else was on the ballot.

So now what...

Democracy at it's finest...



That's worse than lossing a Democracy Game Election to the Dancing Banana

[Dinner]

Now, now. There's no reason to rub in the fact that a certain poly tubby lost an election to a dancing banana.

*Cough, cough, *Panag*, Cough*

1st reaction: that's hilarious.

2nd reaction: no, wait, that's sad. Democracy requires that, at least on *some* level, we care.

It would have been funnier if one person had written in the traditional "Mickey Mouse".

I'd just shoot myself right then and there.

I have no sympathy for anyone too lazy to make the extra effort to vote for himself.

that's almost as bad as a republican winning the presidential election with less votes than the democratic candidate, and not legally winning the state of Florida
