Electoral College Flunkout.

It was one thing when Florida ballots proved to be too complicated for some people, but now members of the Electoral College apparently can't figure out exactly what they're doing. The Star Tribune reports that one of Minnesota's 10 electors wrote in "John Ewards" on his or her presidential ballot Monday. That double mistake (presumably the elector meant John Edwards) could cost John Kerry one of the 252 electoral votes he earned (not that it makes much difference). "It was perhaps a senior moment," said elector Michael Meuers, who at age 60 was the second-youngest member of the Minnesota Electoral College delegation. Meuers swore he wasn't the one who messed up, but then noted that "both the candidates were named John, and the ballots looked pretty much alike."
