Yep, it's true: I have officially run for an elected position here in Michigan, and won my race!

OK, the elected position is Precinct Delegate to the Democratic County Convention.
OK, I only received 76 votes (including those of my wife and I).
OK, there were actually 3 positions open, and only 3 people running.
Still, it's an official elected position, and I won it, dammit!
I even took a pic of my name on the ballot for posterity:

UPDATE: I should also note that, embarrassingly enough, I wasn't 100% sure what the heck I'm supposed to actually *do* as a precinct delegate--so I ran a Google search for "precinct delegate", and interestingly, the very first listing is a primer from the very county I live in:
