Public Records Show ... Mickey Mouse Registers to Vote

Those nice people at ACORN registered "Mickey Mouse" to vote in Florida, reports the St. Petersburg Times. How do we know this? Because the registration form is a public record.

We vaguely remember that a few years ago some county elections officials in Washington state supported legislation to allow them to withhold voter registration information from the public. That would make it impossible to spot Mickey Mouses.
