The City of Troy, New York should be highly embarrassed and if not, allow me to embarrass you right here for this nonsense. As highly publicized as this Presidential race is, in this day and age no one realized that the hundreds of absentee ballots that were printed first and THEN mailed to hundreds of voters had the Democratic Nominee’s name wrong?
This is what taxpayers’ money goes to - Incompetant people at the Board of Elections who allow gross errors like this?
In an upstate New York county, hundreds of voters have been sent absentee ballots in which they could vote for “Barack Osama.”
The absentee ballots sent to voters in Rensselaer County identified the two presidential candidates as “Barack Osama” and “John McCain.” In the United States, the best-known person named Osama is Osama bin Laden, leader of the al-Qaida terrorist group.
Commissioners for the Rensselaer County Board of Elections say they regret the error but do not acknowledge in a statement exactly what the error is.
The botched ballots were first reported by the Times-Union of Albany. SOURCE

I don’t care what anyone says, this was NOT a mistake! There is a calculated effort under way to keep Obama out of the White House by any means necessary.
I don’t buy the ‘mistake’ excuse either. He has been on the campaign trail and a sitting Member of the Unuted States Senate long enough that everyone in the universe should know his (expletive) name. (POUNDS FIST FOR EMPHASIS)
Dang Diva, you too!!! You and Lynn both have me howling tonight. Yall are fired up for real!
This ignorance is not limited to the deep south. Racism extends beyond the Mason-Dixon Line.
Very true Iron Horse. Check out the article on this blog regarding the UK teacher harassing the 18 month old baby. Racism is unfortunately universal.
No way was that a mistake. That’s the level of racism we must endure in this “great” country.
This is no more a mistake than the tape recorded profanity in some of the Elmo dolls. Something intentionally did this and the clerk in charge should take responsibility for it!!
