Sorry State
My "ten minute campaign" for Town Meeting, as my mother called it, won a 3-year term in Precinct 1 as a write in. I got exactly four votes - the members of my home and some from next door. That's not such a bad thing for a 1-year term, because Town Meeting should be super easy to get on, but the fact that four votes ended up getting more than a 1 or 2 year term is a bit sad.

This smacks of the old joke about the second prize being a one-year term, the third prize being a three-year one, and the first prize being not having to serve.
So is it congratulations or condolences?

Well, I actually didn't want a three year term... only because I don't know if I'll actually be here in three years. Since it's so easy to actually get on every year, I figured I'd just keep up my 'ten minute campaigns' and write myself in when there were things I cared enough about to trek out on a rainy tuesday and vote for town meeting when it's the only ticket in town at the ballot.
