The Hill - A Philadelphia resident was shocked to receive a letter Friday
saying they won an election earlier in the month — apparently because no
one else cast a vote.
"I literally yelled 'what the hell' when I
opened the letter," Phillip Garcia told The Hill. "I've written my name
in a few times during elections when no one else is listed for a
position. It's just been a thing I do, with no expectation of, like,
actually making an impact on the vote."
Garcia, editor-at-large of
The Rumpus and a Temple University Ph.D. candidate, tweeted Friday that
the city had informed them of being elected as an election judge to
serve on a board for Ward 21, Division 10 of the city, which covers
parts of the Manayunk neighborhood.
