Windsor man driving the 'vote' for 30 years

For most people, their licence plate is little more than a mix of letters and numbers.But for one Windsor man, his plate has been driving home a specificmessage for the past 30 years.

Werner Keller,a business law professor at the University of Windsor, said the plate elicits a lot of questions from border agents when entering the U.S. But for him, the hassle is worth it.

"This is my way of expressing my belief that anyone who can vote should vote."

A personalized licence plate message may contain almost any combination of letters and numbers as long as it has not been taken by someone else in the province.

"'Vote' was available so I immediately purchased it," Keller said.

Longtime advocate

Kelleris no stranger to the political game. He served as president of the Windsor West Liberal riding association for seven years, and was an organizer for longtime MP Herb Gray.

Keller also finished second in the 2006 election, losing to NDP MP Brian Masse.

Keller's political past is a strong indication of who he voted for. He was one of the earliest voters at his polling station.

"I was number 20 in my poll."

Why he wants a minority government

Keller did not say who he thinks will win the provincial election. Instead, he expressed his desire to see a minority government.

"I think, under the current circumstances, a minority government will hold accountable whoever ends up taking the lead."
