Bogus Voting Residences (VI): Post Offices

In today's installment of Bogus Voting Residences we visit some of the post offices which some voters bogusly claim as their residence. I'm not talking about the famous private mail boxes which thousands of King County's smaller voters claim as their residence. I'm talking about the honest to-goodness "Neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor gloom of night shall deter a carrier from his appointed rounds" shoot-em-up USPS post offices.

In the extended entry, a list of 10 post offices where King County voters are registered to vote.

Thanks to reader Chris for the tip. Please send me your reports of Bogus Voting Residences. Please include the words "Bogus Voting Residence" in the subject line.

1. I wonder if any of the perverts that pleasure themselves and watch porn at the public libraries list a library as a residence?

2. Finally, The Left shows a modicum of support for the brave people of Iraq. Three times in 2005, Iraqis went to a place where they could be shot in order to vote. Now that Americans are listing USPS facilities as their residence for voting purposes, they too, are going somewhere where they could be shot in order to vote.

4. Stefan,

Is it known whether the registration year is when they registered at this address or if it was when they first registered in King County?

Perhaps these people do not have a "traditional" address. That would make these registrations "legal" because USPS is a "public" building....

6. registration date is original... at least that is what it shows when I look up myself.

also, from the search page:

"Registered: The year in which the voter first registered in their county."

7. Listen up, folks. These voters are just getting a jumpstart on Deanron's proposed all-mail balloting. Better get a USPS address now before all those spots are taken.

8. Mr. Ramona Martin (notice the sex) and Mr. Raymond Martin, both born 22 Dec 1965, both reside at the Union Street Post Office. I wonder if they are conjoined twins, sharing a tiny post office box.

9. A HOMELESS PERSON CAN USE THE POST OFFICE ADDRESS AS HIS MAILING ADRESS IF HE IS HOMELESS HE USES GENERAL DELIVERY FOR AS LONG AS HE IS HOMELESS ITS A POSTAL REGULATION

10. TYPING IN ALL CAPS MAKES YOUR POST THAT MUCH MORE OFFICIAL LOOKING - ARE YOU BY CHANCE REGISTERED AT THE POST OFFICE AND SURFING FROM THE LIBRARY??
