Tragi-comic glimpse into the mind of a Republican voting in the Indiana Democratic primary...

A woman running for a county post in Tippecanoe County missed a chance to vote for herself when she realized too late that she'd been given the wrong party's ballot.

Taletha Coles is seeking the Republican nomination for a county commissioner's seat against two others in Tuesday's primary. She went last week to a voting site to cast an early ballot.

Coles said she told workers she wanted to vote in the Democratic presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama but also vote for Republicans in the county races.

Voters, however, may only choose only one party's ballot for the primary.

Coles said she realized she had only Democrats listed on her ballot once she put her voter card into the machine, but by the time she told election officials it was too late to change it.

She certainly doesn't need to be an elected official.

13. Somebody needs to publish a Voting for Dummies guidebook.

As well as an Election-Year Statistics for Dummies guide for people like John King.
