‘Barack Osama’ appears on hundreds of absentee ballots in New York.
The Albany Times Union reports today that Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) “last name is spelled ‘Osama’ on hundreds of absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County,” New York. Both Democratic and Republican county election officials insist the error was a “honest mistake” and a “typo,” but the paper notes that “the letters ’s’ and ‘b’ are not exactly keyboard neighbors.” During the Democratic primary, Obama’s first name was misspelled on approximately 2000 absentee ballots in Florida.


Here we go again:grr:

1. Whoever did the printing is a hardcore Republican.
There is no way that was a mistake.

3. Why can't they put McCain down under 'Nazi Party of America'?
Hey, don't blame me if I accidentally typed 'Nazi' instead of GOP. Honest mistake.

14. So are these official government docs? If so seems like a criminal
act has occurred? People in these states need to file complaints with the AG.
