This guy can't win.  His name is actually "Whitney."  So the original story, which contained the mistake "Rich Whitey," was about the first mistake - leaving the "n" out of his name on the ballot. (To clarify, the ballot should read "R. Whitney" and instead reads "R. Whitey."  The AP reported that the ballot reads "Rich Whitey" which is a beautiful irony.)  All of this makes any correction to the ballot moot.  This guy is forever "Rich Whitey."

This might be a tragedy for some other candidate but lets face it, he's a Green Party candidate.  Nobody's gonna take him seriously anyway.
