Overheard at a Santa Fe County voting location today. A voter arrived, with his dog. Poll worker checking the voter in asked the dog’s name.
Voter: “Oscar”
PW: “Does Oscar want to register and vote today?”
Voter: “No. He’s a convicted felon.”
🤣
(Note: in reality, in NM felons who have completed their sentences are eligible to vote.)

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Let Oscar be heard. At least he showed up to the polling place.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social Maybe Oscar is just out on parole.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social I would not expect that Oscar is 18 -- but if he is, he has definitely earned the right to vote.

@heidilifeldman@mastodon.social #DonaldTrump is a convicted felon and he keeps asking #MAGA morons to pretend that *he’s* on the ballot! 🤷🏻♂️
