In 2005, Jane Balogh signed her dog up to vote as an act of protest against a state voter-registration law she thought made it too easy for noncitizens to vote. On Thursday, she pleaded not guilty to making false statements on a voter registration form, the charge is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. She wasn't going to contest to a misdemeanor, but changed her mind after officials stated that their system worked. Balogh disagrees, because Duncan, the dog, is still on the voting rolls.
So how did Balogh get Duncan registered? She put her phone bill in her dogs name, Duncan MacDonald, then used that as identification to register him to vote. She even submitted ballots in theee dog's name in September and November of 2006 and May 2007 elections, however she did mark them as "VOID" and didn't actually cast any vote on his behalf.
- So my question is.....if Duncan is still registered, will he be voting in the November election, and if so, who's he voting for?
