400+ Michigan absentee ballots for military overseas voters list the wrong Republican ticket for president

| September 16, 2020

The Michigan Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office erred on printing who Donald Trump’s running mate in the 2020 presidential election is. Instead of listing the sitting Vice President of the United States Mike Pence, they printed Jeremy Cohen (who is running for VP on Libertarian Jo Jorgenson’s ticket).

It’s not clear how the mistake was made or how many people’s ballots it affected.

Detroit News first broke the story. Read it here.

I always try and use my extensive knowledge of 60’s and 70’s geeky sci-fi for evil.

I don’t understand that “dollars to donuts” saying.
A donut is worth more than a dollar.
Is it because the donut is sweet?

Thats a 1950’s saying dollars to donuts or dimes to donuts.

It means a sure bet Slow Joe, in that a dollar is worth MORE than a donut, ‘specially back in the 1800s. Google is your friend.

Oh, I knew it means a sure bet, it is just that the origin of the saying doesn’t make much sense, since donuts are worth than a dollar.

And apparently it has been that way for a while. I came to America in 1994, and a donut was more than a dollar.

Here ya go Slow Joe; Put some South in yo’ mouth. Find one of these in your AO. Most places you buy a dozen glazed, you get a 2nd dozen for 1/2 price. I wish everybody loved this country like you do!

They figure “at this point in time, what difference does it make.” Nobody with a mail in ballot will be voting for Trump anyhow, so the name of the running mate is a mute point. C’mon man! Send Soda Pop and CoCola thru the Housing Area to help the troops and dependapotomi fill them out.

Like a number of the other ‘weeds and weedettes here I’ve been voting in National Elections for right at 50 years. Just saw the latest Biden ad. Reads just like the demonrat ads that I remember from the mid 1950s forward. “Tax the wealthy and corporations, spend more on schools, and protect social security.” Only difference now is the ORANGE MAN BAD part.

Simple mistake. Coulda happened to anyone.
Let he who has not soiled a ballot cast the first vote.

Why are errors during election time literally ALWAYS in the Democrat’s favor?

This party would make Goebbels and Mussolini proud.

Made me giggle like the lil girl I used to be.

Ex-PH2

What a bunch of crybabies!!!!!

I would love to get my hands on Dr. Who’s telphone booth TARDIS so that I could drag these soiled snots back to the 1960s and give them a dose of REAL discrimination.

Some day….

Mail ballots—-what could go wrong?

Herbert J Messkit

This is battlefield prep for the general election. They will generate chaos in the ballot counting To delay a decision and claim incompetence, even though it is their own incompetence.

UpNorth

Yeah, Benson has already all but promised that it will take at least a week, maybe longer, to count all of the ballots. Of course, they’ll need that long to find all the pre-marked ballots in Metro Detroit, Pontiac, Flint, Saginaw, Lansing, Kalamazoo and assorted college towns.

OldManchu

Lars ❤️ fucked up mail in ballots.

26Limabeans

Mail in voting will be the new “hanging chad”
Votes are not counted….they are analyzed.

“Butterfly Ballot”

Remember those? “Chad” received all the attention. But the Donks who scored that own-goal blamed everyone but themselves.

Forest Bondurant

And so it begins.

A lot of folks are going to be disenfranchised when it comes to voting this year.

Fucking pathetic.

Wrong names on ballots… Dead people and cats casting votes… bundles of mail left in dumpsters or stored away, only to be discovered months after the election takes place.

Jeremy Cohen can play the fiddle nearly as well as Charlie Daniels did. I think he might be a better choice than Pence.
