What's wrong with this picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:

Arianna Huffington Ind 25,954 1.1

Peter V. Ueberroth Rep 9,863 0.4

Bill Simon Rep 3,745 0.2

Didn't these people dropout of the race! What is going on here? Why are there names on the ballot and why are thousands voting for them?

The ballots were already printed before they dropped out. No time or money to reprint them.

Because they are certified candidates when the ballots were printed. "Quitting" just means they gave up campaigning but are still legally in the race. Which shows you about 35,000 people are really stupid for voting for them anyway.

But of course that means "quitting" is bogus.

Yes.

Too expensive to reprint ballots each time, not enough time to mail sample ballots to voters.

Some are absentee ballots cast before they dropped out, and there's always someone who doesn't get the word.
