It's a typographical mistake on the ballot. It should be a 14 next to Bush instead of a 4. The same thing is true on the entry above, it is 2 instead of 12.

So what? Does anyone ever proofread ballots in Ohio? Also why is the Republican candidate at the bottom of the list? Oh! The parties are listed in alphabetical order. That is a stupid rule. Why should the Aardvark party that gets 10 votes statewide be listed before the Republican Party that has a governor and both US senators in the state of Ohio. In Texas the parties are listed in the order that the parties received in the most recent gubernatorial race. Since Texas has a Republican governor, Republican candidates are the first candidates listed in every race on every ballot in the state. The Democrat candidates come next, because their candidate for governor in 2002 came in second. Next come the Libertarians, Greens, etc.

Follow my link to a sample ballot from the first precinct in my county. It is an optically scannable ballot that is extremely easy to understand and to mark.

Nueces County, Texas Sample Ballot.

So what?

I'm only pointing out a fact. Don't be so jumpy.

I think it should be corrected. Even though it may be an innocent (and stupid) mistake, it is very misleading.
