Due to an error by a printing company, all voters in Nassau County, New York, were identified as Democrats on their voter ID cards, irrespective of political affiliation. This triggered accusations about \u201csabotaging elections\u201d ahead of the upcoming primaries. In many eastern states, you vote along party lines that you identify with preceding the election. Given Democrat voter cards means the voter can only vote Democratic.<\/p>\n
As in most states, registered voters [1]<\/sup><\/a> began to receive their voter ID cards last week. Whether the voter supports Republicans, independents, or another political party, they were surprised to see themselves identified as Democrats on the cards. The primaries are scheduled for June. Voters in the county number nearly a million. Only 40% are actually registered Democrats.<\/p>\n Phoenix Graphics, the printing company, calls this an ‘isolated event.’ However, this isn\u2019t the first time that Phoenix Graphics has made such a mistake. In 2020, Phoenix messed up absentee ballots for 99,000 voters in Brooklyn. The printing firm erroneously sent mailings to voters containing return envelopes bearing the names and addresses of other people.<\/p>\n Phoenix Graphics is correcting the error and will send out new and accurate voter ID cards soon at no additional cost to taxpayers. Democratic County Election Commissioner Jim Scheuerman told the New York Post that Phoenix would pay around $300,000 required to resend the correct cards to voters. This printing company was contracted over ten years ago via a sealed-bid process.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, all registered voters in Nassau County, New York hope to get the correct cards before election day.<\/p>\n Due to an error by a printing company, all voters in Nassau County, New York, were identified as Democrats on their voter ID card<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[144],"tags":[203,205],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23908"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23908"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23908\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23925,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23908\/revisions\/23925"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.altonmo.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Printing Company<\/h3>\n
