From the report: Some are calling it a Freudian slip. Everyone’s calling it a big mistake.
Hundreds of absentee ballots sent to voters in New York State’s Rensselaer County, near Albany, were printed with Barack Obama’s last name spelled as “Osama," the Albany Times Union reports.
County elections officials tell the newspaper that it was a typo that made it by three rounds of proof-readers. They also said the error affected just a few hundred voters, and that they will re-send corrected ballots on request.

whoa they will only resend it on REQUEST?
who's going to vote for an Osama? unless they know what's going on - why would they write back and request a new one?

Freudian Slip? Big mistake?
No....how about a real concerted effort at playing on people's fears and bias by intentionally "letting" this get past 3 proofreaders.
