A family in Atlanta received a voter application for the dead cat Cody Tims, who died 12 years ago.
"We have a voter registration application for Cody Tims," Carol Tims told Fox 5 of Atlanta. "How did this happen? It's not reality, he's a cat and he's been dead for a long time."
"There's a huge push but if they're trying to register cats, I'm not sure who else they're trying to register," Tims said. "I'm not sure if they're trying to register dogs, mice, snakes."
The Office of the Georgia Secretary of State claims it didn't send the application. It added that third-party organizations sometimes use mailing lists to get names and addresses.
"Third-party groups all over the country are targeting Georgia to help register qualified individuals," they said in a statement. "This group makes you wonder what these out-of-town activists are really doing. Make no mistake about it, this office is dedicated to investigating all types of fraud."
