BBV - Oops - they left Bush/Cheney OFF the ballot

[harmonyguy]

Proof once again that ballot integrity is (or at least should be) a non-partisan issue.

Poplar Bluff Missouri.
"An oversight in printing left the Republican incumbents off of the ballots, some of which have already been sent out to absentee voters."

"There was no intent to leave them off," she said.
(snip)
"In the past when this has happened, the county clerk should send new ballots informing the people of the error," Durdaller said.
(snip)
Several voters had noticed their options were limited on the absentee ballots.

4. HTF can you live Bush and Cheney off the ballot?

One would think that somebody at least looks at the ballots before sending them out. And here we thought last election was crazy-looks like we haven't seen nothing yet.
