Early Voter's Remorse

[Pangloss]

There's an interesting story going around about voters, especially in California where they've been voting since January, suddenly finding that the candidates they voted for are no longer even on the ballot.

 

Some of the news stories spin things even further by declaring that the voters HAD to vote early because they were confused and uncertain about electronic voting machines.

 

Here are a couple of amusing articles on the subject:

All I can say is, welcome to voting irrelevency! The oranges over in the corner were donated by the state of Florida -- help yourself!

A good slogan for those in Florida and Michigan:

 

The donkey ate my ballot.

It would explain why Giuliani beat Paul in California... I don't find revealed flaws in the system amusing, however.
