What if you held an election and nobody came?
From Associated Press:
"I dare say a half-dozen people usually make it to the polls," he said. That represents about a quarter of the residents in the Barnes County farming community, in southeastern North Dakota.
But on June 10, no one showed up. Not even those on the ballot.
Brudevold ran unopposed for re-election. His wife, Ruth, and Dan Lindseth faced no challengers for their alderman seats.
"Everybody has got a job and they're busy," Brudevold said. "It just worked out that nobody seemed to go down there to the polls."
Only about 11 people live in Pillsbury proper, and the remainder of the residents live on farms outside the city. There is no precinct in in town, so residents must drive about 12 miles to neighboring Sibley to cast their votes.
