Man Signs Voter Registration as 'God'

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."

Correct, the Dems get Illinois and New Jersey, the GOP gets Ohio and Florida. And sometimes New Mexico. :lolhitting

but then again, in an electoral college mentality, would a few hundred votes make a difference in Illinois or New Jersey? Now ask the same question about Ohio and Florida.

 

New Mexico seems to be an annual trade off.

Is there an echo in here?

A few hundred votes made a difference for Kennedy in 1960 in Illinois. Thank the underwater precincts of Chicago for that.

 

And you're right about New Mexico. Sometimes for both parties ;)

I knew God was on our side.
