ELECTION 2020

[Rootilda]

It started with a dead cat named Cody.

The cat died 12 years ago, so his owners were shocked when, randomly, they received a voter registration application form for Cody Tims in the mail, as they told Fox 5 Atlanta in a viral newscast last week.

“How’d this happen?” asked Carol Tims, holding up the form and a tin of the cat’s ashes. “I mean, it’s not reality, he’s a cat. Here he is.”

To Carol and husband Ron, it was an amusing, albeit head-scratching mistake, which a spokesman for the Georgia secretary of state’s office said was probably the result of a third-party mailing list error not involving the state. To the GOP, however, the error was a harbinger of voter fraud and cause for fear that our beloved Scouts and Jaspers across the country may be voting in the 2020 election, dead or alive — possibly including famous dogs such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s pup, Bailey.

Even President Trump and his campaign have elevated such pet-related voting concerns.

“This is the election chaos and mischief the Democrats want!” the Trump campaign tweeted, linking to the story about Cody.

Days later, Trump told Townhall, a conservative news outlet, that Democratic governors could be sending millions of mail-in ballots to unknown people or dogs. “Who are they sending them to? Nobody has any idea. They’re sending them to dogs. They actually have sent to dogs,” he said.

Suddenly, jokes about registering your puppy to vote started to sound sinister to some in the GOP, as Warren found out Thursday.

“Bailey is definitely going to vote in November, and he’s voting Democrat, all the way,” Warren (D-Mass.) said to Symone Sanders, a senior campaign adviser for Joe Biden, in a Thursday town hall, petting the pup. “Bailey for Biden!”

Sanders chuckled. Steve Guest, rapid response director for the GOP, did not.

“Elizabeth Warren endorses voter fraud, says her dog will be voting Democrat,” he wrote on Twitter, linking to the clip and the news about Cody. “Voter fraud is not a joking matter. I hope Elizabeth Warren is joking… because dead cats getting voter registration in the mail is a real thing.”

Kee-rist.  And what's even more amazing about this is, Georgia is notorious for voter fraud... from the Republicans. Their current governor oversaw the election process before he was (illegally) voted into office. Yet here they are, screaming about a dead cat on the voting polls. Georgia, get your shit together.
