From New Zealand comes this…. The people who should be charged are the people who approved the registration….
Toby became a registered voter when his owner, Peter Rhodes of Queenstown, completed an enrollment form in the dog’s name, giving his occupation as “rodent exterminator” and his age as 28.
He signed the form with a squiggle and Toby’s paw print before returning it to the Electoral Enrollment Center, the Otago Daily Times reported.
Rhodes, an aviation safety specialist who said he was making a humorous point about local government bureaucracy, was shocked to receive written confirmation of Toby’s enrollment in the Otago electorate on New Zealand’s South Island.
Electoral Enrollment Center manager Murray Wicks was more angry than amused that an application filed by a dog had slipped through the center’s checking system.
“It’s an offense, and whoever’s done it will be in the hands of the police,” he said.
They should be grateful to the dog owner for bringing to light the incompetence of election officials. Instead, he will be in trouble with the law and the incompetence will likely be allowed to continue.
I agree — they should be thanking him for find this blatant loophole. Just like an egotistical moron to go condemning the person that’s hurting your political career, but helping the people and the system.
“Any doubt that it will vote democrat? ”
Seeing as NZ doesn’t have a democratic party – yes there is doubt.
