The voter registration form arrived in the mail last month with some key information already filled in: Rosie Charlston’s name was complete, as was her Seattle address.
Problem is, Rosie was a black lab who died in 1998.
A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, blacks, Latinos and young adults.
But residents and election administrators around the country also have reported a series of bizarre and questionable mailings addressed to animals, dead people, noncitizens and people already registered to vote.
Unless these registered animals actually go to the voting booths, I don't see the issue.
You do realize ANYONE could show up and vote under the dog's name since no ID is required? Chances are they would not be aware the name belonged to a dog.

You are correct. Someone can also go under my dead grandmothers name. After all, she tried to register in a new county 2 years after she died, only she forgot to sign the form. Silly Gram.
