Dead Goldfish Offered The Vote In Illinois

Election officials in northern Chicago want to know why voter registration material was sent to Princess, a dead goldfish. "I am just stunned at the level of people compromising the integrity of the voting process," said Lake County Clerk Willard Helander, a Republican, who said she has spotted problems with nearly 1,000 voter registrations this year. Beth Nudelman, who owned Princess, said the fish may have got on a mailing list because the family once filled in her name when they got a second phone line for a computer. When will we recognize a goldfish's right to vote?

ACORN NEEDS TO BE ELIMINATED. by Anonymous Coward · 2008-10-21 12:14 · Score: -1, Offtopic

ACORN is not only committing fraud constantly but are funded with tax payer dollars to boot.
They need to be shut down and ALL national and regional officers indicted immediately.
