| Getting the Canine vote |
| 2005-09-29 |
| Stuff about coalition deleted. There are now calls for an inquiry into the election from New Zealand First MP Ron Mark who is concerned about cases like the Queenstown Jack Russell, Toby, whose owner managed to enrol him to vote. Surprisingly officials weren't tipped off to his true identity despite Toby's paw print signature. Toby's owner Peter Rhodes filled in the form as a joke and said the successful enrolment highlights the need for more careful scrutiny. I've heard of "Yellow Dog Democrat," but never "Jack Russel Labour." Electoral officials said enrolments are 98% accurate and there's no need for an investigation. The vote for Governor of Washington, and the Presidential vote in Wisconsin, were 98% accurate, too. |
