As someone who's been typing for a trazillion years, I can attest to the fact that the b isn't even in the same typing nerve area as the s. Jeebus. h/t the lovely and talented Tim.
TROY — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's last name is spelled "Osama" on hundreds of absentee ballots mailed out this week to voters in Rensselaer County.
The misspelling, which elections officials on both sides of the aisle insist was simply a typo, is causing embarrassment for the county.
''No question this is an honest mistake innocently done,'' said Edward McDonough, the Democratic commissioner. ''We catch almost everything.''
''This was a typo,'' said Republican Commissioner Larry Bugbee. ''We have three different staff members who proof these things and somehow the typo got by us.''
Officials say the flawed ballots were sent to approximately 300 voters. On row 1A Barack Obama's name is spelled Barack Osama.
note- State corrected from MI to NY thanks to Clancy.

I remember I mentioned this same feeling a few days ago
You had 3 people look at it and you still missed it...? Great work guys. Keep it up.
Yeah Right! I should believe this mistake? Mistake it was not..
"Who do you think your fooling?"
This is important. If the person checks the box and sends it in, it will still be valid. HOWEVER - if the person corrects the name or tampers with it in any sort of way, the vote will be invalid.
For his vitreous gaze and vitriolic bigotry, Auburndale LI Zeus priest "Palestinian Paul" is feared Osama been Hiding.
