BUT here's the thing...those who live in the village also technically live in the town so they get to vote TWICE. Meaning that my vote will likely not matter since it will be overridden by the double votes from people in the village. It was all explained in a recent article in the paper about why this is legal but it still makes me angry.

Wow...I've never heard of such a thing! Sorry,Kiddo!
