COUNT ALL THE VOTES

Dogs not disenfranchised in New Zealand:

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.

Hey, we’ve all made that mistake. Meanwhile, calls continue for New Zealand to withdraw from the stupid Kyoto Protocol, which, according to a forestry group claim, has already “ripped more than 8,000 jobs and more than $200 million of annual investment from provincial towns and cities throughout New Zealand.”

  4. “It’s an offence and whoever has done it will be in the hands of the police, said electoral officer Murray Wicks said.

    “... and whoever else embarrasses us concerning the ease of voter fraud will likewise meet stiff penalties”, he added.

    I came across a Jack Russel t’other day, and I was struck by its intelligence—quietly smart; very inquisitive, but not in that bumbling stupid way.  Very thoughtful seeming.

    Just a layman here, but he seemed to me an excellent candidate for learning tricks.
