I can't help it, this just makes me giggle:
The last name of Green Party gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney is misspelled as "Whitey" on electronic-voting machines in nearly two dozen wards -- about half in predominantly African-American areas -- and election officials said Wednesday the problem cannot be corrected by Election Day.
The misspelling turned up on touch-screen machines in 23 wards overall. Whitney's name is spelled correctly on the machines' initial screens showing all of the candidates' names, but it is misspelled on review screens that later show a voter his or her choices, said Jim Allen, spokesman for the Chicago Board of Elections.
Mr. Whitney actually has a serious complaint here and I think it's unacceptable that something like that can't be fixed with 2 1/2 weeks left before the election. They are either using the wrong system/contractor or they have a pretty damn ineffective Board of Elections in Chicago.
Oh. Wait.
