She didn’t get any, not even one from herself.

“I’ve never seen that happen before where a valid write-in candidate didn’t get a single vote,” said Doreen Fulcher, Genesee County elections supervisor for the last six years.

Osborn said she was at her son’s baseball game at Flint Southwestern Academy and didn’t vote on May 3.

“We were like, ‘Oh my goodness,’ ” Osborn said, referring to herself and her husband.

“I (thought I) would have gotten a vote,” she said. “I had plenty of people I know that would have gone up there and voted.”

Why on Earth would anybody running for office not vote? It boggles the mind.
