ballot.jpg

Kevin from Political Animal has a post about some absentee ballots (pictured above) in MI that were sent out and seem to be in order except for the little detail of the arrows lining up with the correct candidate. The whole ballot is scanned and you can find it here. How does something like this happen after everything in 2000? Is it that difficult to make an unobfuscated ballot?

Update:

Here is an article about the mixup. The funny part about this article is it is blaming blogs for the paranoia. After what happened in FL four years ago I would think they would realize that it isn’t the blogs that are making people a bit jittery out when something like this happens but all that bull that happened last election.

Oct 6, ’04 11:23 AM

This site has a bunch of Rodney Dangerfield one liners. I always found Rodney hilarious. Caddyshack was by far my favorite movie although Back to School was terrific too.

Here are some of my favorite lines:

I come from a stupid family. During
the civil war my great uncle fought
for the west!

My father was stupid. He worked in a
bank and they caught him stealing
pens.

I had a lot of pimples too. One day
I fell asleep in a library. I woke
up and a blind man was reading my
face.

Last week I saw my psychiatrist. I told him, “Doc, I keep thinking I’m a dog.” He told me to get off his couch.

Following the “Flying Man” project, the logical “next step” was to accomplish the secret dream of being able to fly like Superman or the Rocketeer. To do this, motorizing the wings was to be achieved in order to be able to let the first flying man ever to fly horizontal level !

I got 5 right on this test. The average is 7 correct.

Chinese. Japanese. Korean. What’s the difference? Some say it’s easy to see. Others think it’s difficult – maybe even impossible. Who can really tell? That’s what we want to find out. For this first test, we’ll show you a series of 18 picutres of CJKs. Select which country you think each is from. When you’re finished we’ll tell you your score and how you stack up to others.
