Icon14 At last a real election in the US with real candidates one can for for. .

https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/pit-...lide-election/




Quote:
Now THIS is the kind of election that we can get behind.

A 3-year-old pit bull named Brynneth Pawltro has just been elected as the new mayor of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky in a landslide election of 3,300 votes.

Brynn reportedly managed to best several other candidates, including a donkey, a cat, and a chicken. Since this is the fourth dog in a row that Rabbit Hash has elected as mayor, she will be succeeding a border collie named Lucy Lou.

The town’s tradition for furry mayors first came about in the 90s when the residents agreed that they had no need for a mayor.

Instead, they decided to start electing animals in a truly representational democratic fashion.

Everyone in the town spends $1 to vote for the pawesome new mayor. Once the election is concluded, all of the money goes right back into the community.

This year in particular, the election funds will go towards rebuilding the town General Store, which burned down in an electrical fire.
That's a candidate I can trust.

Elect a dog as mayor? Yep, sounds about right for Kentucky...

...and I've heard rumors Brynneth Pawltro was seen colluding with a Russian Wolfhound and a loudly barking bulldog with funny yellow fur...

Who in their right mind vote for a dog! Dogs are stupid, you throw a stick or ball away and the daft mutt goes and fetches it for you. Try that with a cat and the cat will look at you as to say you threw it you go and get it I'm busy.

Let's see...

He's friendly.

The loves everybody.

If he doesn't love somebody, it's probably for a good reason.

Everybody loves him.

If somebody doesn't love him, they're probably not worth knowing.

He's very low-maintenance.

He'll never lie to you.

He'll never spend your money recklessly.

He may poop in your yard, but hey, nobody's perfect.

He can be bribed for a steak, but there's not much he could do for you except be your friend. No corruption there.

What's not to love? I'd vote for him.
