So you think New Mexico elections top the nation in oopsie-daisy mishaps? Check out New York’s Rensselaer County. According to The Albany Times Union, county elections officials mailed out hundreds of absentee ballots with this presidential candidate: Barack Osama.
An honest mistake, innocently missed by three proofreaders, simply a typo, said elections officials, apparently failing to note the geographical distance between the “s” and “b” keys.
Yeah, right, said one voter:
”It’s a little suspicious and at least grossly incompetent. If I crossed out the name and wrote in the right spelling my ballot would be invalid.”
