Here ya go, Bob. You can hide in the boondocks of Ohio without an  
address and still be considered a citizen:

Now, Ohioans living on a park bench can vote for McCain or Obama

A federal judge ruled this week that Ohioans can cast ballots next  
Tuesday even if their "residence" is a park bench or street grating.

U.S. District Court Judge Edmund Sargus says that voters, presumably  
the homeless, need not have an actual address in order to vote and  
help determine whether Ohio's crucial 20 electoral votes go to the  
Republican presidential ticket of Sen. John McCain and Gov. Sarah  
Palin or the Democratic ticket of Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

The lawsuit was brought by the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the  
Homeless, whose attorney claimed that local election officials had  
made the ridiculous assertion that they needed actual addresses to  
verify and accept legitimate voters.
