For many years in the 90's there was (maybe still is) a resident of 
Cook County, Illinois, who refused to vote because she was the only 
voter in her precinct, and the precinct totals would consist purely of 
her vote.  (She lived in a forest preserve.  There's probably some 
latter-day Brothers Grimm tale in this.)
