18-Year Old Elected Mayor of Michigan City

Three cheers for write-in ballots, I guess.

It may only be a city of around 8,000 people, but a high school senior defeated the incumbent mayor in Hillsdale, Michigan.  By a write-in ballot, no less.  Sure, it's not earth shattering considering the city's main "recreational draw" is its community library, but it's a fun little news fact, nonetheless.

And here's a write up of Mayor-elect Michael Sessions if anyone's interested.  He will hopefully be able to go to college while being mayor.  Rock on?

PS: This is my first diary, so thanks for reading.  I find that local politics can be more colorful than national or statewide ones.  If I get three comments, I'll be jazzed.
