I'll never forget when I worked in a small union shop and we had our local elections. We had one candidate who was pretty much dispised with the exception of their best friend and his BIL who happened to get their foot in the door to the company thanks to the candidate. I actually got nominated with two others to be on the electoral board and count the ballots. This candidate got a whopping total of three votes, a complete landslide against him. We would just announce the winner, not the vote tally and the candidate immediately got up and huffing and puffing for a public recount. There is nothing in the bylaws about a public recount and everybody just started to groan as we all knew there was no hope in hell that there would enough people voting for him. The one other official got up and said " You got THREE votes" and the place just broke up laughing.
