Curtis Sliwa Tried to Bring His Cat to Vote

“Curtis Sliwa (R) brought a special guest with him to vote on Tuesday: Gizmo, one of the 17 cats he lives with in a studio apartment,” the New York Times reports.

“But Gizmo was denied entry to the polling site, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Mr. Sliwa, the Republican nominee for mayor, was irate.”

“More problems soon followed, and Mr. Sliwa openly quarreled with election officials, shouting: ‘Arrest me!’ when they asked him to take off a red jacket with his name on it — an apparent violation of electioneering rules.”
