No Charges For Woman Who Registered Her Dog To Vote

Charges have been dismissed against a Federal Way woman who registered her Australian Shepherd/Terrier Mix, Duncan, to vote. Jane Balogh registered Duncan to vote in order to prove that Washington's policies are so lax that even a non-existent person--or a canine--could register to vote. A King County Judge dropped the charges Monday, after Balogh proved she had completed community service and paid $240 in court fees. Balogh swears Duncan never actually voted in an election. No word on who the pooches presidential pick would be if he was still a registered voter, but we predict he's a Blue Dog.

    well all i know is that the pooch, unlike his owner, couldn't have stated:

    WELL, if any ole' WETBACK can vote, my DOG can vote!

    when she called in to tell the elections dept. about it...



    i happened to be in the row just in front of the woman who took the call of Balogh's in November of 2006...and she said something to the effect of "well if they want to come get this little old lady, they CAN!" too, after confessing her crime.
