Paddy wrote this up. Now here is what the ballot looks like. Nice, huh? As Paddy noted, usually "typos" have something to do with proximity of keys. The "B" key is nowhere near the "S" key on any given keyboard. And how hard is it to catch an error of this magnitude? Right answer. It's not.
::smacks head:: Of course! They have a "BS" key!
To repeat:
Hundreds of absentee ballots sent to voters in New York State’s Rensselaer County, near Albany, were printed with Barack Obama’s last name spelled as “Osama," the Albany Times Union reports.County elections officials tell the newspaper that it was a typo that made it by three rounds of proof-readers. They also said the error affected just a few hundred voters, and that they will re-send corrected ballots on request.
