Upstate N.Y. Ballots: Barack ‘Osama’
Absentee ballots in Rensselaer County in upstate New York have listed the Democratic presidential nominee as “Barack Osama,” reports the Albany Times-Union.
About 300 ballots were sent out. Other ballots have since been fixed.
”No question this is an honest mistake innocently done,” said Democratic county commissioner Edward McDonough told the newspaper.

“If I crossed out the name and wrote in the right spelling my ballot would be invalid,” the anonymous voter told the newspaper.
