Missouri Man Ran Unopposed in Election, Got No Votes.

Joe Selle, 42, was running unopposed for a City Council seat in Missouri City, Missouri – and got no votes, not even from himself!

Selle, 42, said he simply forgot that Tuesday was election day, and apparently so did Ward 3′s other 34 registered voters. …

He said he saw other residents at the school where the voting was held, "but it never occurred to me that’s what they were there for."

"It’s pretty small-town stuff down here, man," Selle said of the Missouri River town of about 300 people, 16 miles northeast of Kansas City.

Turnout was better in Ward 2, where two people voted.
