If you are what you eat -- a dubious proposition -- then does what you eat say something about how you will vote? More important, does your choice of adult beverage have some political significance?

Sounds to me like these voters made their choice perfectly clear. From an Associated Press report: "Every vote counts. But what happens when there are no votes at all? That's the situation city officials in Tamarac (Fla.) are facing. No voters showed up Wednesday night to cast a ballot in an annexation referendum for an unincorporated Broward County community."

The county spent $2,500 to keep the polling site open for 12 hours. But who can put a price on democracy?
