Reply to comment by DPVaughan in TIL of former Governor's Councilor Herbert Connolly, who in 1988 arrived to the polls too late to cast a ballot for himself and lost by a single vote. by motownmods

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.

30

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.
