Seasoned politician! A 4-year-old boy, who has not made it to pre-school yet, has been re-elected as the mayor of a US town. Mayor Robert ‘Bobby’ Tufts was re-elected as the mayor of Dorset, a small town in Minnesota on Sunday. Bobby was first elected as a three-year-old. Tufts managed to get re-elected as mayor of the tiny tourist location after his name was once again picked at the annual Taste of Dorset festival, local media reports said.
Dorset does not have a city government, so its population of between 22 to 28 people, which changes whether the minister and his family are in town, are allowed to vote for their mayor as many times as they like, at the low cost of just USD 1 a vote. There are various ballot boxes around stores in town, and the money raised from the polling is then used to help organise a festival for the people of Dorset.
