Of course, he's a Republican. Man Signs Voter Registration As 'God'
READING, Pa. - One registered Republican won't be able to vote in the next election unless he appears at a Berks County Elections Board to explain the signature on his registration form.

The man is registered as Paul S. Sewell, but his form is signed "God."

....

Sewell, 40, said he will be happy to explain. As the owner of a bail enforcement agency, he finds fugitives, he said.

"Whenever I go to arrest somebody, they say, 'Oh, God, give me another chance. Oh, God, let me go. I'll turn myself in tomorrow,'" Sewell said.

Crimeny, Repugs are bad enough when they claim to merely speak for God. Now they are voting as God? :puke:

1. I don't know
Sounds like rather a dumb cop joke. I don't think it's intended to be taken literally.

2. Sure, a Dem makes a typo on his registration form, they throw the book
at him (likely sending this idjit) . . .

But a guy commits a crime (hmm, voter fraud), and he's (should the word "he" be in caps, since he claims to be God) a Repuke, and everything's happy?

3. Technically, you can sign anything you want. X, God, Fred Flintstone, etc
It does not, technically, have to actually be your name. It just has to be your SIGNATURE.

6. I am so surprised
Shocked, shocked, I tell you. A Republican who thinks he's God? I could never even dream of that :sarcasm:

8. So, what's the difference between God and Paul Sewell?
God never thinks he's Paul Sewell.
