Believe it or not, one vote can win an election. Every vote does count. I know this first hand. I am pretty sure that I won the election by exactly one vote.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail from the County\u2019s Department of Elections and they told me that I received more write-in votes then any other candidate for the office of Minority Inspector of Elections.<\/p>\n

On November 3rd, I went to the polls to vote for my local elected officials and in my Republican controlled town there were no Democrats running for any of the town offices. All the Republicans were running unopposed. So I wrote in my name for all the offices that didn\u2019t have a Democratic candidate. Now I am pretty sure no one else wrote my name in.<\/p>\n

For the position of Inspector of Elections, there needs to be an inspector for each political party. Since there were no Democratic candidates, I was the winner for the Minority Inspector with my one write-in vote. I didn\u2019t even think about that when I wrote my name in. I just thought that my write-ins wouldn\u2019t really count and that one vote doesn\u2019t actually make a difference.<\/p>\n

So for all of you out there, don\u2019t forget to vote and to write in your name when you don\u2019t like any of the candidates. One vote can make a difference. Dreams can come true. I\u2019m living proof\u2026 BEEFCAKE!!!!
