By RNC standards, is Joe the Plumber eligible to vote?
This from the New York Times "Caucus" blog:
By the standards Republican groups are pushing to have voter registrations checked against social security databases and the like before they are deemed valid, would Joe Wurzelbacher be allowed to cast a vote in the upcoming election? His name does not match the name on the rolls.
Mr. Wurzelbacher is registered to vote in Lucas County under the name Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher.
"We have his named spelled W-O, instead of W-U," Linda Howe, executive director of the Lucas County Board of Elections, said in a telephone interview. "Handwriting is sometimes hard to read. He has never corrected it in his registration card."
The records, she said, showed he voted Republican in the March primary.
