About this ebook
When Mara Bell, a veteran election administrator in Central Oregon, finds a returned ballot marked with a boundary that does not exist on the county's certified map, she expects a clerical correction. Instead, the line leads to a missing attachment, conflicting field packets, and a water contract whose future may depend on who receives the right notice.
With a special election nineteen days away, Mara must work through county offices, irrigation roads, and volunteer fire halls to establish what happened. Her investigation becomes painfully personal when she discovers that she once signed an incomplete boundary order and that her daughter is organizing the commissioner's campaign.
As respectable explanations begin to fray, Mara must decide whether protecting the office means preserving its appearance or putting its failure into the public record. The Smallest Majority is a sharp, humane political workplace novel about local power, family loyalty, dry civic absurdity, and the cost of confusing caution with integrity.
