The Evergreen Freedom Foundation recorded this interview with Jane Balogh, the woman who registered her dog to vote as a protest against lax voter registration procedures1
1 Those would be the same lax voter registration procedures that enabled illegal immigrant / convicted sex offender Terapon Dang Adhahn to register to vote.

Jane: "You can if you're a dog"
OMG! That's hysterical!
Posted by: Ragnar Danneskjold on July 13, 2007 02:15 PMThis guy is scum but isn't an illegal immigrant. He is a immigrant who was here legally, who due to his convictions may be told to leave.
Posted by: Bill 4728 on July 13, 2007 03:03 PMWhy it's Gregorie and her gang, who think they should all have the right to vote.
Well I don't think sex offenders and felons have any rights to vote until all of their restitutions have been completed.

Bring in the illegal aliens registered by ACORN and throw out the military votes, by dumping those ballots into Puget Sound. This is unbelievable !

Posted by: pudge on July 14, 2007 07:40 AMAs a country, we need to start EXPORTING those legal visitors who commit crimes while in the USA back to their home countries. Additionally, we need to deport those who commit crimes while here illegally. I'd start by checking the legal status of every inmate and after they have served their sentences, ship them off...

Posted by: Right Stuff on July 14, 2007 11:41 AMWhy wait till they serve their sentences. why should us taxpayers pay for their incarceration. Ship em home the minute they are convicted, and their sentence should be Deportation. Period.
Why waste our tax dollars on vermin. Spend it on proctecting the law abiding citizens of this state and country.

Posted by: Tacoma on July 14, 2007 01:51 PMDoesn't anyone on the left read "satire" anymore. Jeez Goldy doles it out daily, and no one bitches about it.
Amazing, really amazing.
Posted by: Chris on July 14, 2007 02:33 PMNow that he's killed a little girl I don't expect any fuss from the GOP. Can't blame this one on the Democrats as it's a GOP idea to award citizenship to US Veterans (even if they do turn out to be pedophiles).
It is disturbing to me that no proof of U. S. citizenship is required when registering to vote. As you know, that was not always the case. The Washington State legislation that passed substituting verifiable proof of citizenship and allowing utility bills and other identification is ludicrous. Checking the yes/no box on the registration form only says that you can read the question. This honor system does not work nor is it good enough. What this current voter registration system does is open the door to voter fraud.
The Washington State Legislature needs to repeal this current legislation and return us to the old voter registration system requiring potential voter registrants to provide proof of citizenship in the form of a birth certificate or naturalization documents.

You obviously do not value the citizen's right to vote; that's sad for you, but I hope that because of your lack of respect for your own vote, you therefore don't vote. That would make me feel better.
David: she only got caught because she TRIED to get caught! And it still took them TWO elections to catch her ... and then when they did, they sent her ANOTHER ballot! She could have kept right on voting illegally, WITH THEIR FULL KNOWLEDGE, and they would have done NOTHING if she had not continued to INTEND to get caught.
I think you are missing the point that she would have been able to vote illegally if she wanted to, and there's nothing that anyone would have done about it: she was only caught because she wanted to be caught.
