4 Year Old Re-Elected Mayor in Dorset Minn

I am not kidding you on this one. But 4 year old Robert "Bobby" Tufts has been reelected "Mayor"in the tiny town of Dorset Minnesota. Since this town doesn't have any formal city government this job is in name only. Dorset Minn has a population of just 22 to 28 people depending on whether the pastor and his family are in town or not. Mayor Bobby, hasn't even attended preschool yet. The way the town elects it's mayor is that townsfolk vote at any of the local businesses for $1 and can vote as many times as they would like. The money is then used to host the Dorset Festival. The votes are not counted but are simply put into a big clear jar and then some random guy is chosen from the festival goers to pull the winner. And Bobby's name was pulled again this year making him now a 2 term Mayor. hahahaha Awww, that's so cute.
