Those republicans ( none politics )
FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) - A judge has decided that a suburban Seattle woman who registered her Australian shepherd-terrier mix to vote has spent enough time in the legal doghouse.
Jane Balogh (BAY'-loh) had been charged with making a false statement but entered into a plea agreement last year. A King County judge dismissed the charge Monday after Balogh showed that she had paid $240 in court costs and completed community service.
Balogh says she registered her dog Duncan to protest a loophole in the law that she says makes voter registration so easy a nonexistent person could be added to the voter rolls.
She says she made no secret of her action after the fact, telling a number of elected officials she had registered her dog.
And she says Duncan never voted.

There was some suggestion that may have occured here in Washington States last Gubernatorial election. The republican canditate won the election by less that 300 votes, so they did an automatic recount (he won again). So the Democrats demanded a second recount and magically found enough votes so that the democratic candidate won (by less than 200 votes).
The republican candidate was so angered by this that he demanded another recount, the state refused so he sued the state.
Both these clowns are running again this year for Govenor.
Sadly neither of them deserve it.
