Whoops.

Sharron Angle, a Republican candidate for Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's seat, sent a newsletter listing primary opponent Rep. Joe Heck's website as joeheck.com, which redirects to a website of ... anime pornography. Heck's website is actually drjoeheck.com. Angle's campaign updated the newsletter to reflect the correct address online, but it also sent a print version in the mail.


Angle's campaign tried to shake off some responsibility for the mistake in a statement to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, saying it "has absolutely nothing to do with this domain, and sincerely apologizes for this printing error, as the Heck campaign has changed their web address a number of times."

But Brian Baluta, Heck's campaign manager, said Heck has only ever used drjoeheck.com and heck4nevada.com for his campaigns.

"The Angle campaign has been spreading misinformation to voters and unfortunately this is only the latest, ridiculous, dirty trick," Baluta told the Review-Journal.

In recent years, the domain has redirected to several different websites, including a site paid for by the Nevada State Democratic Party, an anti-Heck blog and the presidential campaign website for Bernie Sanders, the Review-Journal reported.

Roll Call reported that the domain was registered in 2009 and last updated on Monday, and it's registered to a John Rashad in St. Paul, Minnesota.
