JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A newspaper mistakenly published the telephone number of a sex talk service on the front page on its Election Day issue. The number was supposed to be for a national voter hot line.

"We didn't follow our policy of calling the number before publishing it," said Pat Yack, editor of The Florida Times-Union.

Yack said as soon as the mistake was learned, a correction was published on the newspaper's Web site and in the paper.
