Let me ask you one question: just how many votes does it take to win an election? 1,000? 100? 10? Or maybe… just 1?
Early reports from the 2026 Boca Raton mayoral race suggested it could have been a single vote. One person deciding to mail their ballot—or to skip it—could have changed the outcome entirely. In the end, it turned out the margin was five votes. Still, in a city election, that’s barely a handful—and it perfectly illustrates why every vote truly matters.
