We had a primary here a few weeks ago.  Herbert Connolly, a candidate
for reelection to the Governor's Council (a largely ceremonial body
dating from the 1600s) lost by one vote, to Robert B. ("No relation")
Kennedy, 14,716 to 14,715.

Now it turns out that Connolly was so busy campainging that he
neglected to go and vote for himself.  Who says your vote doesn't
count?

Well, I thought it was funny.
