When John F. Kerry was running for president this year, many news writers noted that he had the same initials as another famous Democrat: JFK. However, the official records of the Electoral College have now been placed in the hands of the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, complete with an error.
It seems that the 31 electoral votes from New York were awarded to John L. Kerry.
If the U.S. government cannot keep track of a presidential candidate's name, I guess I don't feel so bad about the entries the census takers made about my ancestors!
