Woman Fined for Registering Cows As Voters
She has GOT to be a republican :D

LONDON (AP) - Brenda Gould is in trouble again for registering her cows as voters.

For the second year running, the woman from Newmarket, near Cambridge in eastern England, has listed two names on the registration form who turned out to be cows, East Cambridgeshire District Council said Thursday.

The previous year, in addition to registering two cows as "Henry and Sophie Bull," she listed "Jake Woofles," later found to be a dog, as eligible to vote in local government elections, the council said.

"Jake Woofles" is a great made-up name! :D I'm going to rename my dog "Charlie Woofles!" That'll piss him off...:o

5. Better cows than The Mad Cowboy
This woman may be a Tory, but I bet her farm animals don't identify much with the aristocracy. Unless they're pigs named Napoleon:)
