I believe this ballot was indeed photoshopped or altered. Also I believe this may be the reason the election supervisor in this county resigned this morning. The ballot may be real, but the altering was probably done after it was approved, but before it was printed. The question is: 'Who did it?'. It would not be too hard to somehow connect her to this, at this point in time? That being said, I hope they find out who did this.

...found it. It didn't come up on the earlier search, because it's only 22 hours old.
OK, I haven't voted yet and so I'm checking to see if I'm smart enough to vote.
If I follow the arrows, I vote the #14, is that correct?
Just wanted to post everything available. MSNBC has picked this story up from a local station. Thanks much for the link!!
NewsNet5.comCLEVELAND - The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections said the woman in charge of the absentee ballots resigned, NewsChannel5 reported.
Board of Elections Director Michael Vu said Sondra Robinson did not say why she was resigning.
Robinson worked for the board of elections for three years.
I'm signed up to be an official challenger for the Republican Party on election day in Cuyahoga County. To tell you the truth, I'm skeptical that this is an accurate representation of the ballot and punch.
The election officials ought to be prosected. Where is Cuyoga county anyway?
Cuyahoga County is the county Cleveland is in.
Great News for Fair Elections in Ohio
In case you missed the wonderful news over the weekend, a federal appeals court has slapped down that Clintonista judge who ruled in favor of massive vote fraud in crucial Ohio.
U.S. District Judge James Carr had ruled in favor of his fellow Democrats, and against fair elections, by ignoring state law and decreeing that provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct(s) must be counted.

But the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Saturday noted that Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell was correct in noting that people must be responsible enough to vote in the right place and not commit fraud in as many precincts as they can visit on Nov. 2.
Ohio's foundering Democrat party and left-wing groups said they would not appeal the court's decision.
"Today's ruling reaffirms Secretary Blackwell's understanding of the law," Blackwell's spokesman Carlo LoParo stated Saturday. "Unfortunately the frivolous lawsuits filed by the Ohio Democratic Party and its allies have needlessly wasted the valuable time of election officials across the state as they prepare for this important election."
Good news on that front! (About the out-of-precinct voting being rejected on appeal.)
The "mis-aligned" ballot arrow issue?
(If its actually printed like this, it would almost certainly cause 25-75% loss of Bush votes.)
Yeah, that would be REAL SMART! You would vote for # 14 --whoever that is---if you "followed the arrow" from Bush/Cheney.
Now how do you vote for Bush? And BTW, do you think the design of the ballot is just a coincidence? You are not that gullible, I hope.
