5-Year-Old Mayor, Unseated By 16-Year-Old In Dorset

In the race to be the mayor of a tiny Minnesota town, pre-schooler Robert "Bobby" Tufts was defeated by a comparative elder statesman — a 16-year-old.

Tufts, better known as Mayor Bobby, was first elected in 2012 to the ceremonial position of mayor of Dorset, population 25, according to KARE.

The unincorporated town — the self-proclaimed "Restaurant Capital of the World" — elects a mayor each year in a fundraiser for the local food festival. Ballots cost $1 a pop and voters fill in a name on the paper slip. The winner is chosen by picking a name out of a hat.
