An Atlanta family was shocked to find a voter registration form arrive in the mail — for a pet cat that died 12 years ago.
The application that showed up Wednesday at the home of Ron and Carol Tims was pre-printed with the name of “Cody Tims,” according to a photo posted online by Fox5 Atlanta.
“How did this happen? It’s not reality, he’s a cat and he’s been dead for a long time,” Carol told the station.
The suspicious mailer also has the family wondering what other critters are receiving applications to vote ahead of November’s hotly contested election between President Trump and presumptive Democratic challenger Joe Biden.
“There’s a huge push but if they’re trying to register cats, I’m not sure who else they’re trying to register,” Carol said.
“I’m not sure if they’re trying to register dogs, mice, snakes.”
Officials also said that if alive, Cody — who Carol said was a “Democat” — would never have been allowed to vote, because he was never issued a license or state ID card, Fox5 said.

It was a black cat and it's really hard for black cats to get ID. This is why we NEED mail in ballots.
This one said most are for college-age students. No mention of dem party registered. Also, the barcodes work when scanned, which probably means theyre linked into the govt database I suppose, not sure. I wonder if the same name comes up, or a different one? edit - barcodes embed the info, so thats easy to fake and have any name pop up. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/shipments-of-nearly-20000-fake-drivers-licenses-seized-at-chicago-airport
They seem to play along with the "officials" they asked which downplay it.
They marked it "unproven". If they were honest it would say "unproven but easily possible". Actually, their sleight of pen is in the way they phrased the topic question "Were 20,000 Fake IDs Seized at Chicago Airport Part of a Voter-Fraud Scheme?". They phrased it like that so they could deem it "unproven", which is more narrative conforming than another form where they would have to concede its very possible and likely.
