Bush, Cheney Left Off Mo. County Ballots

VAN BUREN, Mo. - Officials in one Missouri county are reprinting absentee ballots for the Nov. 2 general election after discovering that President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were left off.

The ballots were mailed beginning Sept. 21, and Carter County Clerk Becky Gibbs said several voters noticed the oversight.

"We are rectifying it," she said. "There was no intent to leave them off."

3. They filed too late in Illinois

because the convention was scheduled so late. The 'official nomination' wasn't declared and so they didn't file. Of course, the politics took over and everything became much more complicated than necessary.

Still, I think this happened in several states because of deadlines for filing being passed and the RNC coming after these dates. The Republicans knew this at the time they set the date for the RNC.
