After the polls closed Cheryl Perry got the outcome she wanted. Out of a total vote tally of 140, with 82 votes Yes and 58 miserable voters voting No, the Perrys had successfully seceded from Omer and Omer's taxman.
While conservatives and Republicans might consider Cheryl Perry's odyssey as a classic example of American ideals in practice, libertarians should be more skeptical. Conservatives' might take to heart this story as a tale of the little guy fighting—and beating—City Hall, and might even see this as something following in the footsteps of the Patriots of 1776, and perhaps even as a victory for democracy, while leftists in general are unlikely to welcome this rebellion against arbitrary taxation no matter how democratic the process.
