Unbelievable: "Barack Osama"
Saturday October 11, 2008
The Brad Blog has a PDF of the absentee ballot sent to citizens in Rensselaer County (upstate New York, in the Capital Region -- Albany, Schenectady and Troy). On the ballot, Barack Obama has been printed as "Barack Osama." There is cause for worry as the county website says the absentee ballot "looks exactly like the ballot on the voting machine."
The Board of Elections is composed of a Democrat and a Republican. Citizens can only receive an absentee ballot with cause. The Albany (NY) Times-Union reports that about 300 citizens received the ballots.
