: Lowering the BarFlorida Election Too Close to Call Because Nobody Voted
By Kevin Underhill
Tired of feeling like your vote doesn't count? Move to Prospect Bend, an unincorporated community in Broward County, Florida, near the town of Tamarac. There, every vote counts -- or every vote would count, if they could get one.
Tamarac city officials have proposed annexing Prospect Bend, something that requires approval by a majority of registered voters in the community to be annexed. Residents of Prospect Bend: 200. Registered voters: 68. Voters who showed up: zero. Keeping the polls open for twelve hours -- priceless? No, it cost $2,500.
Reportedly, city officials are considering a mail-in ballot next time around, in an effort to get at least one person to vote on the matter.
