Everyone’s calling it a big mistake. Hundreds of absentee ballots sent to voters in New York State’s Rensselaer County, near Albany, were printed with Barack Obama’s last name spelled as “Osama," the Albany Times Union [**reports**](http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=728326). County elections officials tell the newspaper that it was a typo that made it by three rounds of proof-readers. They also said the error affected just a few hundred voters, and that they will re-send corrected ballots on request. **Filed under** ---

but they also sent it to a primarily red area of NYS, there is a lot that screams someone did this as a joke because they don’t approve of Obama, more than it was a “oops, I fucked up” ---

the news was saying if you have one of these ballots and corrected the mistake and sent it in the vote doesnt count, but if you didnt correct it and just voted would the vote goto obama or would there be a few hundred voted for a barak osama somewhere
