sketchy shenanigans

People in Rensaelaer County in New York got ballots with "Barack Osama" listed as the candidate? Really? And this was checked by 6 people before the ballots went out? COME ON!

Do not wear your Obama button, etc. when you vote on Nov 4

Err on the safe side: don't wear your Obama buttons/gear to the polls. Apparently in some states, showing partisanship can DQ you from voting.

At least 10 states -- Delaware, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Vermont -- explicitly prohibit the wearing of pins, buttons, stickers, labels, or other "political insignia."

You just know some republican goon is gonna be out there monitoring for this, so just be on the safe side.
