Residents of the community of 25 people confirmed Robert “Bobby” Tufts as their mayor on Sunday in a vote at a local festival, a worker at a general store said.
The post is symbolic because Dorset was incorporated into a neighboring municipality and has no official local government.
The community holds a draw to elect a mayor with residents paying one dollar for each of their votes. A dog and a rooster have also been in the running for mayor.
