Is Jim Webb's name really missing on some ballots |

being printed as James H. Jim (I think) as Jon Stewart said?

1. YES! One of the brands of voting machines didn't program enough |

spaces to list he whole name, so it will appear as James H.
I can't believe any programmer is that damn stupid!

It appears on the front of the ballot but where it is listed to vote it doesn't. AND it is only in the most democratic areas of Virginia...In Arlington, Alexandria and the areas of northern Virginia.

Irregularities and errors always seem to hit Democratic areas, and always seem to benefit Republicans. :grr:

In a limited number of areas in Virginia, Webb's name appears on the ballot in full, but is cut off to "James H.'Jim'" on the confirmation page that comes up before you finalize the ballot.

7. This can be quite confusing to people who are |
|
not comfortable with technology, like senior citizens.
The campaign better embark on an educational blitz in these areas.
