Man Fails in Uncontested School Board Race

Man Fails in Uncontested School Board Race

Carl Miner of Blytheville has gotten a very important lesson on why voters should go to the polls .

Miner was on Tuesday's ballot, unopposed for a school board seat in south Mississippi County. No one voted for him -- and the candidate didn't even cast a ballot for himself.

Officials say Tuesday was the first time in Mississippi County an entire precinct didn't vote.

Miner was running to represent the Luxora area on the South Mississippi County School Board.

Miner says he tried to vote but the polling place near his zone was closed. He says he thinks he gets the seat because no one else was on the ballot.
