Politics, U.S.: The most unfortunate (yet hilarious) typo in politics

  • the green party candidate for Governor of Illinois is named “Rich Whitney.” However, due to a big mistake (or intentional shenanigans) on someone’s part, his name will be misspelled as “Rich Whitey” on some electronic voting machines – about half of them in predominantly African-American areas. What’s worse, election officials say it’s too late to correct the error. Whitney is contemplating legal action (rightfully so, if you ask us). source
