FOUR-year-old Jamie Gribbon was turned away from a polling station at Weston-super-Mare, south-west England, after he turned up to vote in the EU parliamentary election on Thursday with a valid voter's card.

Four-year turned away from British polling station with valid voting slip Jamie lives with his divorced mother, Sue Palmer, who told reporters that while the incident was amusing, it was irritating too.

"His name and address are on the electoral roll now and he will get leaflets through the post," she said.

Jamie has also received a letter from a bank and another offering to sell him a car on credit, she said.

2. My niece's boyfriend...

is a Canadian citizen working in the U.S. Just to see what would happen, he registered to vote and was actually sent a registration card in the mail. He acknowledges that he wouldn't even consider voting (that sort of thing could get you departed), but it makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Hell, I got one, and I've been a registered Democrat for as long as I can remember.
