Chile Flag Vs Texas Flag, A ballot in Atascosa County, Texas, has accidentally flown the flag instead of the Chilean national flag of the Lone Star State.

Both flags are surprisingly similar. They both have red and white horizontal stripes and a vertical band of blue with a white star. However, as shown below, it is an essential difference between the amount of blue and placement of the star on flags. Election staff, however, has not recognized this feature.

The Statesman reports that Texas students studying in Japan first noticed the error and it has attracted the attention of officials. In e-mail to the Statesman he shared his reaction to the error.

I guess it’s funny in some way, but my first reaction was disbelief more than anyone had noticed.

The administrator of elections in Atascosa County, Janice Ruple said that the error was the responsibility of his predecessor. According Ruple the woman who held his job before it “took liberties” with the ballots, adding elements to his own will. Ruple was not sure how long the Chilean flag was ballet unnoticed.

Bentley said Zahra said she was locked in his room most of the time and was authorized “five minutes a day to eat, and that was all.”

“She was beaten almost every time I was there only for the smallest things,” said Bentley. “Elisa was angry, she blame Zahra, things the child does not deserve. She just had a horrible family life. ”

Bentley also said she saw some bruises on his face Zahra. When asked what had happened, Zahra seemed frightened, “said Bentley.

“She was afraid of death,” she said. “She did not mean anything.”

His parents phoned in a missing persons report on 2:30 pm Saturday, but several neighbors told the Observer on Monday they have never seen Zahra home of his parents rented and were surprised to learn a young girl lived. The Bakers moved into the house six weeks ago, apparently from Caldwell County.

Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins said investigators were trying to determine a timetable – the last time Zahra had been seen by someone outside the household, when, or if she had been seen at home in Hickory, and when she disappeared.

There were other strange twists in this case.

The authorities have called the house Bakery on 21st Avenue NW, at about 5 am Saturday in response to a fire in the yard of mulch and a report that gasoline was poured into an SUV.

The search warrant said police found a ransom note on the SUV, addressed to “Mr Coffey,” who was identified as a boss Adam Baker, Mark Coffey.
