Dead Goldfish Invited to Vote in Suburban Chicago
In the latest hint of what Obama's Chicago-ification of politics means for our democracy, a dead goldfish has registered to vote in Illinois:
The only "agent of change" Princess ever supported was the person who freshened the water in her fishbowl.
So election officials in Chicago's northern suburbs want to know why voter registration material was sent to the 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 the fish, said Princess may have landed on a mailing list because the family once filled in the pet's name when they got a second phone line for a computer.
"There was no fraud involved," said Nudelman, a Democrat who supports Barack Obama. "This person is a dead fish."
Being more scrupulous than some Obamunists, Nudelman sent a note to election officials explaining why Princess the dead goldfish is not eligible to vote. She could have just as easily registered and voted on Princess's behalf, thanks to Democrats' dogged resistance to any serious measures to prevent voter fraud.
On a tip from matterhorn.
