On August 1, McIntire, Iowa, held a special election for two town ballot questions. Although the town has 70 registered voters, not one single voter voted. The polling place officials couldn’t vote in that election because they don’t live in McIntire. The ballot asked voters if they want to extend the terms of town council members from two years to four years. See this story.

ONE election day per year.
Mail paper ballots.
Oregon survives with such MPB.
ONE year terms for all legislators.
History note — around 1776 some of the States had 6 month terms for legislators — May and Nov elections.
Now MAJOR R-O-T — longer terms and rigged gerrymander elections — totally controlled by the usual suspect gangs.
PR and AppV.
So usurp state’s rights and have a federal mandate regarding election day? I thought you believed the federal government was a bunch of “hacks” and tyranical?
And mail in ballots are ripe for fraud.
So are you just suffering a case of cognitive dissonance like most Americans who do in practically all aspects of life.
I think I side with Andrew here.
The ANTI-Democracy gerrymander HACKS in the States allow the USA ANTI-Democracy gerrymander HACKS to operate – since 1789.
This list is about saving Democracy — regardless of ALL the usual suspects who love tyrant monarchs and oligarchs.
PR and AppV.

Federal Elections, NNNN
1982-2014
USA Gerrymander math — esp — the UNEQUAL votes for each Congress gerrymander area hack winner –
with much, much worse primary math — esp. if no incumbent.
Mapmakers sometimes create fictitious locations on their maps. If someone duplicates their map it is a clear copyright violation. I think that is what happened here.
In the 2015 election, nobody ran for mayor or the five-member town council. Everyone was elected by write-in. The mayor-elect was also a councilmember-elect. It was said that if he took the mayoral position, that a drawing would be held among those who tied for 6th place for the town council. There were apparently several who received 6 votes.
In a school board election a few years ago, the only candidate forgot to vote. He said that he had been recruited by the school staff. At first he declined, but then agreed to run because he had two daughters in the school. On election day he had his job in a nearby town plus work on the farm and he forgot. It was possible he would be appointed to fill the vacancy in any event.
The newspaper accounts only quote someone from the auditors office, which is odd because someone in McIntire must have called the special election. Perhaps it was Russian hackers who punked the county in holding an election in a non-existent town.

Facts ??? lies ???

Since 1998.
Any more or less corruption in Oregon ???
Is this all you do? Just, maybe, don’t spew out nonsense for one day.
The problem is due to the gerrymander hacks in State legislatures who allow SMALL local regimes to get started.
The old NW territory had the old 6 mile x 6 mile townships with later villages and then cities.
If the town did actually exist, wouldn’t Wikipedia include the city officials? Have you ever actually met someone who is from McIntire, or even driven through the town?

McIntire 48045 — upper right on map
A fake burg like fake news ???
Fonda and Wayne avenues? It sounds like it may have been a movie set. Henry, Jane, or Peter, hmmm?
Why don’t you try writing a letter to the McIntire City Council? I bet it comes back Addressee Unknown.
The election was not held in McIntire, but rather in the Riceville in the next township where the polling place for the county precinct is. But it appears that for general elections one can vote in McIntire.
A local TV station (Mason City) interviewed someone from McIntire, or at least they claimed that they were from McIntire who said that they briefly knew about the election, but forgot about it, and who was surprised that “they” (city officials) would have voted.
It still looks like Russian hackers punked the county auditor into holding an election for a movie set village (Fonda and Wayne avenues).
