NBC New York: Human Error Turns Every Registered Nassau County Voter Democrat.
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[.]"
A mistake listing every Nassau County registered voter as blue had many — especially Republicans — seeing red.
Many voters in the GOP-leaning Long Island county got their voter ID cards in the mail on Tuesday, and a half-million who got their cards 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.
And with the primary a month away, the mistake is sparking confusion.
[...] now the mistake has led to many unhappy people.
"There’s a lot of confusion, there’s a lot of people emotionally upset about this," said [Nassau County Executive Bruce] Blakeman.
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."
