Statistically, it's actually pretty unlikely to get zero votes even out of 500. The votes are anonymous and hell, even human error would suggest at least one of them bubbled it in my accident. All it takes is like one 18 year old troll voter, for instance.
I'm not trying to say anything about the election, though, so much as just saying how unusual a 0 is in the real world given natural varience. I teach statistics, it's just really weird to ever run into that unless it's an error.
