I received a misprinted ballot for the upcoming election. Sort of a serious issue, and I'm trying to let people know what's going on.

Here's a copy of the e-mail I've been sending out; included is a link to a partial scan of the misprinted ballot. Feel free to circulate widely.

Start e-mail:

Please circulate widely, Election Issue

This is the absentee ballot I received. Look closely at the Presidential
section. I am registered to vote in Alma MI, in Gratiot Co.

I feel this is a matter of the utmost importance, as voting is one of the
most important civic duties, Michigan promises to be a battleground state
with a very close election, the last election had ballot issues, and this
election in general promises to be a close election.

I did not scan the entire ballot because of an (irrational) paranoia about people using
it to commit voter fraud; however, I feel that people should also see the
glaring error that has been mailed out.

I have contacted the company, who assures me that it was just a "computer
hiccup" and that they will reprint them and mail out new ballots. This
could still lead to confusion, though, as some people may still vote on
the wrong ballot, not realizing the subtle difference. If you would like
to contact the company that printed the ballots, here is their contact
information:

Miller Consultations & Elections, Inc., 231-869-4349

Please help to ensure that this election does not have a repeat of
Florida's fiasco, and notify anyone who might be interested in this.

Sincerely,
Marissa Lafler
