Some of the absentee ballots that were sent out to residents of Hamilton County, Ohio, were missing a Kerry/Edwards option. Instead of the Democratic nominees names, the words "CANDIDATE REMOVED" appeared. Election officials are saying that this error occurred on only two ballots.



Some Hamilton County Absentee Ballots Missing Kerry/Edwards Names
At least two voters in suburban Cincinnati have received absentee ballots without Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's name.

The voters received ballots with the words "CANDIDATE REMOVED" printed in the space where Kerry's and running mate John Edwards' names were supposed to appear.

Elections officials believe the error only occurred on the two ballots. But they're trying to contact 20 other people who received absentee ballots in the area.

Hamilton County Board of Elections chairman Tim Burke says he's afraid people will question the accuracy of the voting there because of the error.

After yesterday's problems with the electronic voting in Florida, were voting was slowed by database problems, this is just adding fuel to the fire. Election officials are saying that this was a problem that probably affected only 2 ballots, but how did this problem happen? Are we sure that only two ballots were affected?
