Voting Drunk

Oslo, Norway: August 5, 2003 It will be two pints of lager and a ballot, please, in Norway this year after a change in the law allowing voters to get drunk and then go out to vote. "The election board can no longer refuse anyone to vote because they are intoxicated," an adviser at the Local Government Ministry said Monday. Until now, Norway's election law has denied entry to polling stations anyone with "seriously impaired judgment" or "reduced consciousness" from booze, but that law has been scrapped, adviser Steinar Dalbakk told the Bladet Tromsoe newspaper. "I think it is a wonderful gesture and I believe the United States should adopt similar legislation," commented Ronatarian Party founder and perpetual presidential candidate Ron at a Happy Hour in Hoboken, New Jersey. "I expect much of my success at the polls to come from heaving drinking," continued Ron. "That's my bread and butter."
