Mayor Blunder Wins Oil City Election By 6 Vote Landslide

Mayor Blunder, a local politician who has lost three consecutive runs, has finally beat Jimmy Swaggart for Oil City mayor. The election was decided at 6 PM yesterday when the judge of election finished dinner and counted the last nine ballots.

"I was very upset to learn that I lost the election" Swaggart stated. "I invested all my savings in campaigning on the north side of Oil City." Swaggart, who is estimated to have lost $45 on his campaign, has demanded all 97 ballots be recounted. According to local experts however, the result is not likely to change.

"This has been a long ride" stated Blunder. "I knew I had no chance on the north side seeing that Swaggart grew up there. I guess I was lucky enough people showed up to vote." A recount has been scheduled for Monday to ensure no fraud has taken place. Final judgement will go to the Venango Supreme Court if evidence is discovered.
