Soxy Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 link to trib story Man Signs Voter Registration as 'God' By Associated Press Published January 30, 2006, 6:52 AM CST READING, Pa. -- One registered Republican won't be able to vote in the next election unless he appears at a Berks County Elections Board to explain the signature on his registration form. The man is registered as Paul S. Sewell, but his form is signed "God." County Solicitor Alan S. Miller said Sewell claims his "God" signature is merely a legal mark like the "X" used by people who are illiterate. Sewell, 40, said he will be happy to explain. As the owner of a bail enforcement agency, he finds fugitives, he said. "Whenever I go to arrest somebody, they say, 'Oh, God, give me another chance. Oh, God, let me go. I'll turn myself in tomorrow,'" Sewell said. He said he thinks his designated mark is legal. "PennDOT accepted it on my driver's license. I have a credit card with it," he said. "It shouldn't be a problem." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank the underwater precincts of Chicago for that. And you're right about New Mexico. Sometimes for both parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
