Cats Can Vote?

hahaha. Not.

Deceased cat gets voter registration application in the mail.

I wonder how many people are not registered besides those just turning of age to vote.

There can be just about no one, none, zero, I think.

The cat was registered somehow. I wonder if the cat ever voted in the past?

The cat was not registered - he (or rather, his owners) received an application.

It’s comforting to know that a cat only received an application.


Whew....

Cats are far better than people

Much of what is inaccurately (and often hysterically) labeled "voter fraud" is just things like this - that don't actually involve either voting or even intending to vote. All the brouhaha about ACORN in 2008 revolved around a few of their 13,000 field workers who were given back voter registration forms with the names of fictional characters, duplicate applications or applications filled out by children. In most of the states in which registration efforts were carried out, they were required by law to turn in every card they were given, even if it was filled out with the name "Superman" or "Donald Duck". These suspicious cards were brought to the attention of voting officials by the ACORN workers, as required by law, at which time right-wing media sources like the Wall Street Journal began screaming "Voter Fraud!"
