Classy...
...and also...is there a reason there is a Communist star above Obama/Biden and an American Eagle above McCain/Palin?

Am I the only one who notices that when you type "Obama" in an email using Outlook Express, Microsoft Spell check suggests "Osama"?

As usual where is the Democratic Party doing things like proofing the ballot or jumping up and down about this? Or maybe they are but it's not reported yet? Are the citizens of the county calling for the elections official to be ousted?

I swear, those t-shirt guys track my every word on the net and rush my brilliant coinages onto the silk screens as fast as I say 'em.
That's gotta be it!

BRAD I JUST RECEIVED THIS EMAIL FROM A FAMILY MEMBER PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS:
Avoiding the Tricks...VOTER CAGING
The story is all over Progressive Talk Radio today about the McCain campaign
sending absentee ballot applications to registered democrats or people that
have donated to Obama's campaign(This information is public, and on the internet).These
ballots are deliberately misleading and have postage paid return addresses
that are for an election clerk that is outside of your city or town.
What this will end up doing is either having your vote not counted, or if
you return one of these, they will cite you for election fraud, saying that
you already voted absentee. These ballots are only being sent out in
'purple states' and this is a big deal.. This is called voter caging, and
is a huge problem.
The McCain campaign is stealing this election as we speak. Please get this
information out to as many people as you can ,and tell anyone you know who
has received one of these ballots that they need to contact their city
election clerk or the supervisor of elections immediately. Also call the
local media and let them know what is going on.
The main stream media is never going to cover this so we have to depend on
our ground campaign to get the word out to our voters.
We have already seen them turn in thousands of phoney voter registrations and
pretend they were from Acorn.

Misspelling a candidate name for office of president of the United States on an official ballot released so close to an election is pure insolence that must be punished!
This is EXACTLY why I have been suggesting election cops with full legal authority yet controlled by the public, that SERVE the public and not the interests of the election officials.
The Commissioners for the Rensselaer County Board of Elections must be raided immediately, computer's, papers, records, receipts, and logs and if it was outsourced, that place raided as well, and if there was an outsourced QC (Quality Control) that must be raided as well.
This needs to be a crack team with tools to fast-track warrants, force doors down, pick locks, crack encryption and other communication devices, and this team must be completely controlled by public oversight, in other words a swat team controlled by members of all major parties approved by the public as being genuine members representing those parties. (Maybe someone can take this idea and make legal language, and tighten this idea up some.)
Misspelling a candidate name for office of president of the United States on an official ballot released so close to an election is pure insolence that must be punished!
Expedite it now!

To be honest if the ballot isn't correct, will they even count it???

I guess the mistake was using Joe Biden where they should have used Joe Bidet.
Also they completely misspelled John McSame and Sarah Balin.
Proofreading must be optional.
It does look intentional.

Brad,
Judith is right, why is McCain listed three times and Obama twice? By the way, the second time he is listed, his name is spelled correctly. Seems like a very confusing ballot. Maybe McCain supporters get to vote three times for him, and Obama supporters only get to vote twice. (I'm kidding, I hope)

Did anyone check the printer ? It could be a malicious act down the production chain.

This stunt has rotten rudy ghouliani and kkkarl rovian's fingerprints all over it.
Obama/Biden are as good as elected President and Vice-President of these here United States of America.
What are you neocons going to do now,

There is one line per political party. McCain was endorsed by two parties in addition to the Republicans and Obama was endorsed by one party in addition to the Democrats. The symbols were probably chosen by the parties.

This is an outrage!
We, the people, need to have an accounting, for this and all the crap being handed to us by our illustrious government officials.
Is it time for a revolution?
