“‘Ruff! Ruff ruff ruff! Ruff ruff! Ruff ruff ruff! Growl!’ Translation: ‘I’m just a dog! I was framed! I had nothing to do with it! I oppose fraudulent voting on principle! Growl!’ The culprit is the dog’s owner, an Orange County, California woman, Laura Lee Yourex. In 2021, Yourex mailed in a ballot in the name of her dog — not Lucky or Fluffy but ‘Maya Jean Yourex,’ which cognomen the canine, no longer with us, is also on record as disavowing. We’ll call the dog MJ for short and leave your ex out of it. In 2021, the MJ ballot was accepted. When Laura Lee tried the same thing in 2022, the ballot was rejected. The 2021 election was state level. For state elections, California eschews the voter-verification requirements of federal elections.” (09/08/25)
