Vote for "Rich Whitey"!---TPTB label Green Party as Rich Whitey!
TPTB do it again! Illinois Green Party Candidate Richard Whitney is labeled "Rich Whitey" on the ballots!

There are typos and then there are complete and utter catastrophes.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the name of Green Party gubernatorial candidate Rich Whitney is misspelled "Rich Whitey" on electronic-voting machines in 23 wards -- "about half in predominantly African-American areas." The error only occurs on screens voters would see when they are reviewing their choices (Whitney's name appears correctly on the initial screens), but officials say the error cannot be corrected before election day.

Yeah fucking right.

What a fucking fraud, electronic voting machines...they aren't even really bothering to pretend that the voting process is trustworthy anymore.

He needs to sue the HECK out of them. They don't even pretend to be honest any more.

Why the hell does this not surprise me?

However, I find it funny as hell. Could you even picture a black person voting for "Rich Whitey?" For that matter not many whites would vote for him either.
