Yea but he presumably would have stood a chance in a runoff

Once met a lad who forgot to vote for himself for the council. We'd been out knocking doors during the day in his area, got to his and knocked as a laugh. He saw us, smiled, started to say hi, then shouted "oh shit" and took off at a full sprint down the garden path.
He made it in time, and he won with a comfortable majority anyway. Hilarious moment for me though to see him sprinting away.

Funny if you're a campaign worker. Funnier if you're a police officer.

Having to discharge your firearm and take a life isn't funny :(

It's always tough making life and death decisions like that as a campaign worker

That sucks.
It's different but reminds me of a candidate who lost so badly, they were crying because they got fewer votes than they had family members who were voters.

That was in India, and the counting of votes had not been completed. At the end he didnt win but had more votes than his family members.

I'm amazed someone actually got the reference. I didn't even remember the details!
The story's more fun than the real version, but thank you for sharing! :)
Edit: To be clear, I didn't realise he ended up with more votes than what I mentioned.

What if he was planning on voting for the other guy, due to an inflated sense of self-confidence.

So if he voted, it would have been a tie. Still, no declared winner.
