On election day there was a flap in a local election here in Troy.
The elections people put the names of the candidates of the wrong
district into the little slots in the voting machines.

Two hundred and twenty-nine people voted before anybody noticed
anything was wrong.  They may have to rerun the election.

I think it is nice that you want people to vote intelligently,
but I would not get my hopes up if I were you.
