Bushes way to deal with the Absentee vote

Just incredible. It makes you wonder what other sort of crap is going on.

At least two voters in suburban Cincinnati have received absentee ballots without Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's name.

The voters received ballots with the words "CANDIDATE REMOVED" printed in the space where Kerry's and running mate John Edwards' names were supposed to appear.

Elections officials believe the error only occurred on the two ballots. But they're trying to contact 20 other people who received absentee ballots in the area.

Actually, the Hamilton County Board of Elections chairman, Tim Burke is also co-chairman of the county Democratic Party.

Makes you wonder if it is a dirty tricks from the Democrats. You know release 2 dodgy documents then cry foul that Repubs are up to no good.

Or maybe it was just an honest mistake. But that would be too easy to believe.

True.. but it is a bit strange to say the least.

I wonder how they are printed? If they are official documents they would probably be printed in a secure printing place which rarely does a handful at a time and would be plate printed. So how there are only 2 seems a bit strange.
