Our local city elections were canceled due to no challengers. They were canceled 4 yrs ago for the same reason. It's a small, rural, conservative town but no one wants to get involved in local politics. Only the wealthy, generational people participate. Two years ago, there were challengers but those people made ZERO effort to actually win - not even putting any signs out, much less talking to people. It was SO STRANGE! I worked the election and people were asking us - "Who are they? I didn't even know someone else was running." In a city of 2700 registered voters, after 2 weeks of early voting (wk 1 - 8a to 5p; wk 2 -7a to 7p) and 7a to 7p on Election Day, we had all of 137 people show up to vote. But check out the local FB page and they're all over moaning and griping about something "the city" has done or plans to do. 😫
