Anomalies in the voting tallies for our recent town seat elections revealed that many residents registered their cows as independents, artificially increasing the town’s population by 894.  As the practice appears to be so widespread, no action is being taken against the violators.  However, all poll results are being thrown out and a more secure method of voting will be implemented before reelections take place April 1.
