Registered voters in Nassau County got their voter cards in the mail, and saw a pretty glaring typo: All the cards say voters are registered Democrats, when in fact they might be Republican, independent or members of another political party
"We’re already starting to get phone calls from people, saying 'I’m a registered Republican, I’m a registered Conservative – how come I’m being identified as a Democrat? Who changed my registration?' And they’re quite upset about it," said Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.
The cards were mailed out to let voters know about their polling location. But now the mistake has led to many unhappy people.So who is to blame? Blakeman pointed fingers at the printing company, Phoenix Graphics out of Rochester, which was hired by the county’s Board of Elections. The printing company said it was a human error and is now apologizing. A spokesperson called it"an isolated event, but we apologize for our mistake, especially to Nassau County officials, who bear no responsibility for this problem.""I have no faith in this country today, as far as what the politics are," said George Klein."I’m going to vote Republican primary day, and Democrat on that is not going to affect it.
Phoenix Graphics said they are fixing the error at no cost to taxpayers. New corrected voter information cards will be sent out soon.
