A Florida election official is working to help confused voters after a woman complained that registration flier had been sent to her dead cat Gracey Duncan.
Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Michael Ertel said on Thursday that he has set up a website to vet election mailings after the cat's former owner Julie Duncan complained.
He says he was motivated by the cat incident, in which Julie told him a Washington-based advocacy group had sent the bizarre mailing.

Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Michael Ertel said on Thursday that he has set up a website to vet election mailings after the cat's former owner Julie Duncan (pictured her with Gracey Ducncan) complained
Ertel says the website will educate voters about which fliers are legitimate and which aren't.
The elections supervisor says some of the out-of-state fliers from interest groups can confuse voters.
'@MikeErtel I know this isn't from Seminole Cty, but why is my (dead)cat getting #voterregistration apps? This is #2,'; Julie Duncan tweeted on March 30.
'@Juldunc -- Not from @VoteSeminole. This "nonpartisan" group historically does this, which causes a lack of voter confidence. I'll address,' Ertel tweeted back at her.
Ertel also addressed the letter to the dead cat on VoteSeminole.org.
'While some may chuckle at the thought of a dead cat being offered the opportunity to register to vote, this is a serious matter, as it causes many voters to believe our office would send this, as the mailer had the words "Government document enclosed. Do not discard." on it,' Ertel wrote in a statement on his website, adding that Florida is the largest swing state making in an 'epicenter' for the 2016 election.
Julie Duncan told News 6 her beloved cat Gracey Duncan has been dead since 2014.
'Gracey has been gone since 2014, as a concerned citizen I felt it was my responsibility to Michael Ertel (Seminole County Elections supervisor). I would like to know how this group received her (Gracey’s) information.'
Ertel told News 6 that he thinks whomever sent the registration flier is trying to 'mislead' voters.
