Because of a printing problem, some random ink-blobs were spattered onto a very small amount of Redmond-area ballots. Because of that ink blob’s location, the vote-counting computers read it as a vote for the Kerry-Edwards ticket. If somebody with a ballot like that had voted for Bush, the blob in the Kerry section would’ve nullified both votes. Luckily, they’ve only seen in on a few ballots, and they’ve corrected them.
