A little-advertised annexation referendum took place in Knox County recently.
There was only one eligible voter. He showed up at the polls and voted in favor of annexation.
With his sole approval, seventy acres in south Knoxville were annexed into the City of Knoxville.
A Lowe's Home Improvement store is on the site, and restaurants and other businesses are expected to follow now that the annexation is complete.
Who was the lone voter? A man who worked for a subcontractor on the site, who lived on the site, and whose "home" was demolished after the referendum.
Who says one vote doesn't count?
