“Our focus is how do we educate the voters about this change?” Charlson said. “We can do that.”

I'm not so sure about all that...

[ArcadeQuarters]

It’s understandable that they wouldn’t be prepared for this since no one in the entire history of the world has ever died before.

It is the way of things. Kamenetz died 7 weeks prior to the primary date, less than six weeks prior to early voting. The qualification period has long since ended and ballots were printed. I would not expect the BOE to give a candidate in my party such special treatment. She just needs to educate her voters - voters who may or may not want her in the top slot.

The state Board of Elections has said that it could not print new ballots to reflect Ervin’s last-minute gubernatorial candidacy largely because a single paper mill makes the only paper that Maryland’s voting machines can read.

And there's no stocks in their warehouse; and it takes 2 years to import the special trees from Patagonia to make this special paper that is especially made for Maryland's special voting machines; and the dog had a flat tire while eating my homework and there was a plague of locusts and...

Steady gig, how did that arrangement come about?

I don’t believe that ‘paper’ bullshit for one second.

Howsabout you COUNT THEM BY HAND, you idiots??

A vote for one person is a vote for another?????? What if the person voting for the dead guy was making a statement? A statement like “the only one of these candidates worthy of the job is the dead guy”,perhaps.

Why not just put a picture of jackass and a picture of an elephant?

The voters can scribble a circle around which party they want to have select their masters.

...said adding a new candidate’s name to ballots after they’ve already been printed is not a simple task.

Tough shitsky. Ballots should not be printed until the deadline passes to file for an elective office.

The Democrats in Missouri elected a dead man as Governor once upon a time. This is the way they do business.

We won’t be voting for her anyway.

1. Only one paper mill can make readable ballots? That’s completely bogus. Either that’s a total lie *OR* somebody paid off somebody to get a lock on an exclusive contract.

2. She should look at this as a positive. If people know that Kamenetz is dead, he might get a lot more votes from people who would rather have a dead guy than any of the other choices.
