An error by a printing company has made every registered voter in Nassau County, New York, a Democrat, based on the voter ID cards received this week in the Republican-leaning county.
A spokesperson for the printing company, Phoenix Graphics, said that it was human error and is being fixed, according to NBC New York.
About half a million of those who got their cards this week saw that they were registered as Democrats, when they were actually registered Republicans, independents or members of a different 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,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said, according to the outlet.
[Ooopsie. “They’re quite upset about it.” I’ll BET, lol. Wait until the ones who didn’t check their cards when they got them got to vote in a primary. I don’t know if NY is an open primary, but they’d be outta luck in Florida. ~ Beege]
