In Rainier, Washington, the election of a member of the city council came down to one vote. Ryan Roth was elected…Damion Green wasn’t…by a tally of 247-to-246. It turns out that Green might have only himself to blame…because he didn’t vote for himself. Green says he “didn’t feel comfortable” voting for himself because it felt “narcissistic.” A mandatory recount of the votes proved that Roth was the rightful winner, and Green has learned that there’s nothing wrong with voting for yourself in the future…because that’s what your opponent will do.
