Odd Stories: Typing Error Gets Candidate's Son Elected


Derby, Connecticut – A typing error may lead to the election of the wrong man to Derby's Board of Apportionment and Taxation.

The man, James J. Butler, got 1,526 votes for the position but calls the officials responsible for the election incompetent because they have him confused with his father.

James R. Butler, who really was running, told The News Times of Danbury and the New Haven Register he is the one interested in the job, not his son.

The secretary for the office, Av Harris, said the younger James Butler, who doesn't want anything to do with the office, should still be sworn in since he was elected.
