Absentee ballots have been sent out in Rensselaer County (New York), with the name “Barack Osama” printed as one of the presidential candidates, a very unfortunate typographical error.  The elections office has apologised for the error, saying that it will not happen again.

One can’t help but wonder whether this was done on purpose, although since it is a localized incident I doubt it will have any major effect.
