America's 100 Funniest Election Bloopers

Well, no, that's false advertising; we only have one blooper to bring you, but it's a doozie.

Ottawa County, Michigan, spent $40,000 to reprint ballots after it was discovered that the "l" in "public" had been omitted in a referendum question. According to the county clerk, about half-a-dozen people proofread the ballot without catching the error.

Don't you hate when that happens?

(Less funny is that the proposal in question would ban affirmative action.)
