Arizona to Spanish Speakers: Vote Two Days Late!

Maricopa County BallotThis is the ballot in Maricopa County, Arizona. (Click on the image to see it full size.) In English, it gives the correct date of the election: 6 November. In Spanish, it gives an incorrect date of the election: 8 November.

The ballot has been fixed and elections officials claim that it was an honest mistake. I don’t exactly believe this. Certainly, this was not some grand conspiracy. But I think it very likely that some conservative in the office introduced the error on purpose. Especially given that there have been organized attempts on the right to do exactly this. It is the best kind of vote fraud because it has plausible deniability.

Elections officials also claim that less than 50 people were given the incorrect ballot. Hopefully that’s true.
