Ed. Note: The above picture was not published by the New York Times.
If you follow the arrow for Bush in Cuyahoga County, a heavily Democratic county, you end up selecting no. 14, a wrong vote.
What is you reaction?
Did the Times' editorial tell the whole story about the design, who was given the advantage and what happened to the election official in charge?
Did the Times again reaffirm its reputation as one of the most untrustworthy news sources in America?
If Bush loses Ohio, this will be the reason.
My reaction is that this is a FRAUD AND HAS BEEN DEBUNKED ON HERE NUMEROUS TIMES ALREADY!!
Why hasn't the repub party not challenged this as they have in other states? Make them reprint them correctly and re-send...Heck throw out all the previously returned ballots...Just throw the whole darn election!!! Sorry, I'm getting mad.
"If Bush loses Ohio, this will be the reason.
"
I wouldn't worry much about this. If Bush loses in Ohio, the lawyers will sue and we'll have a manual recount of these absentee ballots looking for #14...
If that is a correct picture, then this is a huge scandal. Who wrote the ballot? A Democrat?
OHIO BALLOT SCARE FRAUDULENT: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1258074/posts
My blood pressure just went down a bit.
As a Bush voter, who voted absentee in Cuyahoga County all I can say is I punched the whole #4.
"When people go into the polling place, everything will line up."
When you go to the polling place, sure. Just not if you try to line up the absentee ballot with the card. Of course when voting absentee there isn't really a reason to line 'em up.
This is a NYT article; it is the same info I heard on Glen Beck....and the 2 reports are about a week apart.
I have seen nothing that shows this was debunked.
Where was it debunked? Show me the article.
Why is this still carried in this form?
14 is the right vote, the one that will be counted. The "4" is a typo. Nevertheless, it is a serious error. The Republican voters are obviously not smart enough to follow the arrow, and should hire 10,000 lawyers to protest it.
Seriously, if you get a ballot with a typo, you are entitled to ask an election worker how to interpret it.
PC, you know about it too. Jump in.
For the life of me I can't see how it can possibly line up at the polling place either. If the numbers are out of order on one side, but on the ballot the are in order, how can it possibly line up in the machine? It makes absolutely no sense.
I have seen it posted here.
I've seen a lot of discussion of it, but I have seen NO report that it has been debunked....officials saying it is wrong.
Where is the news article saying this ballot is not the ballot being used in Cayuhoga County, Ohio and that this is NOT the facts about the ballot?
This "scare" is a fraud. That's why we don't have hundreds of posts. Everyone else already knows this.
I read the WND article, and you appear to be correct.
Why is the NYT carrying this?
Good idea, I'll email them right now. Maybe then you can stop spreading phony stories.
How about you? While you are at it, why not probe the Times on this?
