AZ Voting Document Lists WRONG Election Date in Spanish, not English




http://www.buzzfeed.com/jtes/arizona-voting-document-lists-incorrect-election-d

A Maricopa County Department of Elections spokeswoman told ABC News less than 50 people received the incorrect document, which was attached to updated voter registration cards. “It’s an honest mistake," she said.
The date was listed as Nov. 6 in English, but Nov. 8 in Spanish.

Hanlon's Razor applies here: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice.

10. It's one thing if they spelled out the words "six" and "ocho" that mistake MIGHT be more believable

not much more believable, but you could see someone make that mistake.

Mistaking the numerals 6 and 8 is impossible to believe and explain away, sorry Maricopa County Elections folks.

The defense would consist of "It's a typographical error."
