From Fox News: A candidate for city council in Kentucky has learned that home may be
where the heart is, but it’s not always where your political support
lies.
The Kentucky Enquirer reports that 27-year-old Robert McDonald
finished tied with Olivia Ballou for the sixth and final seat on the
Walton City Council. McDonald and Ballou both captured 669 votes --
McDonald later learned that his wife, Katie, didn’t manage to vote on
Tuesday.
“If she had just been able to get in to vote, we wouldn’t be going
through any of this,” McDonald told the newspaper. “You never think it
will come down to one vote, but I’m here to tell you that it does.”
McDonald, 27, said his wife did not want to discuss the matter.
“She feels bad enough,” McDonald said. “She worked extra hours, goes
to school and we have three kids, so I don’t blame her. She woke up
about ten minutes before the polls closed and asked if she should run
up, but I told her I didn’t think one vote would matter.”
