Man Fined for Signing Up Dog to Vote

LAFAYETTE, Calif. (AP) - A man who successfully signed up his poodle to vote as a Republican pleaded no contest Monday to a misdemeanor fraud charge and paid a $250 fine.

Donald Miller, 78, registered his poodle Barnabas three years ago to protest the voter registration process.

Miller said he never cast a vote in the dog's name, though the dog did get a jury summons in March.
