What if they gave an election and nobody showed up?

State of Texas -- as part of its "screw with cities" agenda -- allowed some areas to vote yesterday to dis-annex from their city.

Some areas in voted to do so. River Place voted to dis-annex with one single vote. Not "by one vote", but one single person showed up and voted in this election.

Some areas didn't have anybody show up at all -- zero votes registered.

I fear for our representative democracy.
