Bark the vote
20 06 2012A letter for Mo Morris came to Tim Morris’s house in Bedford County last week. It asked Mo to register to vote for this fall’s elections.
Two problems with this: (1) “Mo” is short for Mozart, Morris’s dog.
And (2) Mozart has been dead for two years.
Places such as Chicago have been rumored to vote the graveyards, but votes from a pet cemetery are something new.
According to Inside NoVA, the good news is that the letter was not from the State Board of Elections; it was a solicitation from the Voter Participation Center, a get-out-the-vote outfit. They purchased a mailing list that had Mo’s name on it.
Morris took it all in stride, noting that Mo could have voted for the first time in 2012, if he was a human and if he was alive.
“He would have been 19 years old this year,” Morris said.
