Holy cow…If this<\/a> is for real, it’s amazing…<\/p>\n

Below is part of a scan from a Michigan absentee ballot received recently by a voter. Note how selecting\/completing the arrow that points to Kerry\/Edwards would actually<\/i> end up as a vote for Bush\/Cheney since the arrows seem to be misprinted next to the names! It’s only only the Presidential section of the ballot (full ballot scan is here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Add this to the latest developing Florida mess<\/a>. What the hell has this government been doing<\/i> for the last four years that they couldn’t clean up this nonsense once and for all?! (don’t answer that) Unbelievable.<\/p>\n

(Thanks Corey for the tip!)<\/i><\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/b> Further investigation reveals this item has been out in the blogosphere for the last coupla days. Mostly on the right side<\/a> of Blogistan where they see the error as a potential anti-Bush error, instead of an anti-Kerry error. But it seems Kos ran a piece<\/a> on this as well. In truth, it just seems like a mess to me. Here’s an update<\/a> from someone who claims to have Emailed the Michigan Secretary of State about the error and was told the error only went out to 69 voters. Hmmm…Vigilance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/b> Now Missouri!<\/a> How hard could this possibly be people?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
