Every Vote Counts

Headline of the day: "Tiebreaking Vote Cast by Dead Man; Runoff Required"

This was for a school board election in Ogdensburg, N.Y.

The tying tally came after an absentee ballot from [candidate] Peo's brother-in-law, Franklin "Peanut'' Bouchey, was ruled invalid because he died three days before the election.

Only in upstate.
