I used to work for the government. Nothing goes out without being read by several folks.

If this was an “oopsie” then the people who put it out need to be severely dealt with.

The GOP is like a mind-bending substance. Hope they peak soon, and the effects wear off after a long dirt-nap(figuratively speaking) for the GOP.

I just have to keep telling myself that THEY are trippin’. And the mainstream media is tripping with them because they have better chow and more shocking headlines.

Here’s to the vote being so overwhelming that the sum of all these little glitches won’t matter anyway.

I’m not the first to wonder this, but comsidering no one named Barack Osama is running for national office, will those votes be cosidered invalid?

There needs to be punishment meted out for this less-than-honest mistake, but more importantly, absentee voters who intend to vote for Obama need to know their votes won’t be invalidated because of this jackassery.

OK, after looking at the ballot, I don’t think Obama’s misspelled name is the most confusing thing on it. McCain and Palin are listed three times — for Republican, Independence, and Conservative. Obama and Biden are listed twice — for Democratic and Working Families (once he’s spelled wrong, the other time he’s spelled right).

I don’t get it — how many party tickets are these guys running on? Maybe they just do things differently in New York?

Yeah, they do. Someone who still lives there will probably weigh in with a real explanation, but NY has long had people running on multiple party tickets, like Democrat and Liberal.

Those responsible should have to pay for printing and mailing new ballots immediately out of their severance pay.

Intentional or accidental doesn’t really matter. Two points though:

1. No big deal. NY is going for Obama no matter if all the ballots read ‘Hussein Obama will eat your children’. NYers are smarter than that.

2. someone should be fired TODAY.

“Honest mistake.” Actually, I see only two possible explanations (correct me if I’m wrong): you’re either really careless and didn’t CHECK the ballots before they went out, or you have no conscience when it comes to honest elections. Either way you’re showing incompetence as election officials.

This is one of those October Tricks from the neocons. Guess what zionist pigs, we the people have survived 8yrs of straight downright failure. We are contenders and we are tougher! And we’re out there to phuck you up! Here we come!

“I’m going offer a less nefarious explanation. In Microsoft Word, whenever I type “Obama” it thinks it’s a misspelled Word and as a suggestion offers “Osama.” Someone is just really lazy with the spellcheck.”

Mine offers: Bema, Bam, Boatman, Abeam, and Ocala.

“Shame on NY! We once thought New Yorkers were intelligent and sophisticated – no more.”

Let’s be clear: Rensselaer County is way up north near Albany, nowhere near New York City. When you think of intelligent and sophisticated, believe me when I say that you’re really only thinking of New York City for the most part. Of course, there are other pockets of liberalism and saneness in the state, but let’s remember: George Pataki was voted in as governor and Rick Lazio as a representative from Long Island. So clearly, there are some real unsophisticated, backwaters-types up here too.

Sorry, I just had to stand up for my hometown.

Letters around “B” on a computer keyboard are:

F,G,H,V,N

“S” is nowhere near “B”. Typo? Not a chance…

Who do you think will be put off by Palin’s paleo-con connexions? Who do you think NOW won’t vote McPalin who would have before?

In GOPuke-land, none of this is glitch, it’s all feature in that country, out there.

And it’s true. They aren’t like us. I doubt we could breed with them (who’d want to, i know; except there are some fairly comely heifers in the herd; it’s in the bloodlines, ya know?).

I honestly don’t think we’ll know the truth about what happened here unless we have some information about HOW the absentee ballots are produced. A single copy sent to a xerox center? A mock-up that goes to a typesetter? (Do they still do that?) A copy sent via email to whoever mass-produced it? In what format? If it wasn’t sent as a PDF file, it could have been altered at the production facility. In fact, it may have gone to a direct-mail facility that did both the copying and then the mailing, which means the election officials (both Democrats and Republicans) wouldn’t have seen it before it went out.
