Extreme voter apathy!

Quick, somebody call Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton! It looks like the Republicans are suppressing Florida voters again!
Every vote counts. But what happens when there are no votes at all? That's the situation city officials in Tamarac are facing. No voters showed up Wednesday night to cast a ballot in an annexation referendum for an unincorporated Broward County community.

There are 68 registered voters in the 200-person Prospect Bend neighborhood. Tamarac officials have proposed annexing the neighborhood.

Details were mailed to registered voters. If just one voter had shown up, that one vote would have decided the neighborhood's fate.
Eh, it's no big deal. That one voter probably would have just voted for Pat Buchanan anyway.
