    Numerous reports state that the company that sent out the ballot already mailed corrections. Also, it appears to be limited in scope.

    If you read through the comments, you'll see info detailing that it has been fixed.

    And no, this isn't the same as the 'butterfly ballot' or 'hanging chad' problems. Those were due to the stupidity of the user and a general inability to read and follow fairly simple directions. This is a typographical error.

    Still, I bet people will manage to screw up the connecting of an arrow.

    Anyone notice that this ballot has the misspelled phrase "No Party Afiliation" under Nader? Official ballot, and they can't even spell right? ;)
