I'm posting this because I feel it should be seen, and because I know many people here are going to vote absentee for this upcoming election.
Here is a picture of Presidential Candidate section of the Michigan Absentee ballot, and if you take a look, you might notice something VERY wrong.

Now, if you look at that, notice how the arrows on the presidential candidates are not aligned....an arrow is left over at the end (pointing to the "Congressional" header), and Bush's name has no arrow. It would appear that the arrows are misaligned by having been moved too far downward.
Provided that you vote for the first arrow (next to Kerry), could this potentially mean that, because the arrows seem to be moved downward, that the arrow next to Kerry's name would actually be a vote for Bush? That someone who doesn't notice this and votes for Kerry would have their vote counted for Bush/Cheney?
To anyone else who has gotten an absentee ballot, is yours the same? Because if it is, this is very serious, and needs to be reported to the County Clerk's/whatever office. Just though I'd share.
I believe that you are incorrect. The scanner looks for marks at positions relative to the edges of the ballot. Since there is no "arrow" where there should be, Bush could get no votes
"If the Democrats are counting on tons of absentee ballots in their vote-fraud efforts, this will kill THEM, not Bush. I think this absentee ballot should be freely distributed in Detroit and every other Democrat parasite nest in Michigan."
While I understand your sentiment ;) the ballot is wrong- no matter who it benefits. This is the kind of thing that can tie up election results AGAIN- and the incompetence in local voting precints will get MORE people supporting the feds running elections EVERYWHERE- and that would be REALLY bad- IMO.
Uh-oh!
It seems odd that Cheney's name is listed as DICK CHENEY. His name is Richard B. Cheney. I've never seen a ballot with a nickname on it.
But, someone by the name of Congressional is?
BTTT
If this is more wide-spread than a few counties, then it will have a very negative effect on those in combat whose votes are being counted (or not!).
Last election my mom never got hers but dad did. Odd thing, she is a registered Republican, he is not.
We will see what happens this year.
bump
Nice spot!
thanks!
saving and bumping this!
bttt
what are you talking about, please clarify
It's a left site that's in the back pocket of the DNC & Moveon.org
CNN likes to promote the site a lot
They use to be big Deanies, but now are pretty much anybody but Bush crowd
BTTT!
UN-eFFing believable!!!
The nitwit blonde of Michigan just called its citizens Michiganians!!!
That serves Michiganders right for electing a Cannuk
No, my meaning is that one complaint can set up the recall. BUT, the person needs to have ballot in hand, not something we "heard about" or saw on the internet. And of course a couple calls would be better than one.
HEY GUYS
I would leave this one alone.
Anyone who attends on voting for kerry actually votes for Bush. Anyone smart enought to vote for Bush will pick the first pin hole and will end up voting for BUSH. Both Kerry and Bush voters vote for BUSH. That is what we want?
