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.
