School board candidate loses election because she didn't vote for herself; calls not voting a 'dumb move'

BURTON, Michigan � One vote was all Burton resident Lisa Osborn needed to win a seat on the Bentley Board of Education.

She didn�t get any, not even one from herself.

�I�ve never seen that happen before where a valid write-in candidate didn�t get a single vote,� said Doreen Fulcher, Genesee County elections supervisor for the last six years.

Osborn said she was at her son�s baseball game at Flint Southwestern Academy and didn�t vote on May 3.

1. Looks like she's pretty dumb, so it's just as well that she wasn't elected.

Her son's sports are apparently more important to her than her son's education.
