Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

Ottawa Co. Michigan got $40,000 worth of new ballots from the printer, after copies had been proof-read by county staff. Unfortunately the ballots have ‘public’ in six places on the ballots and one of those ‘public’s is missing the ‘l’. Ballots will be reprinted. / Shelby Co Tennessee will be using new Diebold machines for the first time next month, joining a too-long list of counties that will be using new voting machines for the first time in Nov. / ES&S has failed, up to now, to get programming to Dona Ana Co. New Mexico, for their Automark machines. No early voting for voters with disabilities even though the rest of the voters can vote early voting. / Sequoia has misprinted absentee ballots sent to 44,000 voters in Denver. And in a second error they printed postage on the return envelope that is 24 cents less than the actual postage. Sequoia will have to pay all expenses for their errors. / A West Virginia Election Commissioner has promised to have all ballots counted by two hours after poll closing; provided there are not technical problems. …

      Oprah had Frank Rich on the other day and the topic of the day was “Truth in America”. Bush’s poll numbers “have fallen and can’t get up”.

      Boy, was she ever nervous. She’s afraid of getting any more sick E-mail from freepers. Hannity can only wish he had an audience like Oprah.

      Hey, just ignore the SELF INCRIMINATING FOOL (I wasn’t the only one who caught that, right?) You just give them energy by acknowledging them.
