Woman registers dog to vote

[Holly_Hobby]

Duncan M. MacDonald is registered to vote. But he’s not your typical voter. He’s a dog. Jane Balogh, a woman from Washington state, registered her dog, Duncan, to prove that it’s too easy for non-citizens to vote. She put Duncan’s name on her phone bill and she used the phone bill as identification to register him as a voter. Duncan’s absentee ballot envelope was signed with a picture of a paw print.

“You can’t sign with a paw print,” the election worker told Balogh on Nov. 9.

“I said, ‘he can if he’s a dog,’ ” answered Balogh, a 66-year-old grandmother and Army veteran who lives in Federal Way.

The election worker told her a supervisor would call, but she never heard from anyone. Balogh’s crime was signing Duncan’s name on a registration card under a declaration that he meets all the requirements to vote. She submitted ballots in his name in the September and November 2006 and May 2007 elections. She wrote “VOID” on the ballots, and didn’t cast any votes.

3. She hasn't proved it easy for noncitizens; she proved that she

committed a fraud.

She's crazy. How many noncitizens even want to vote? Why bother? What will it do for you?

Just another xenophobe, trying to pin all the ills and all her imaginary victimization on somebody, and she chooses foreigners.

9. Exactly. That dog IS a citizen.

That said, I'm not sure how this is different from news crews passing illegal objects through airport security.
