Palm Beach County Corrects Ballots After Misspelling VP Nominee Tim Walz's Name
The error, affecting 257 electronic ballots sent to overseas voters, was quickly rectified and will not impact vote counting.
- The ballots mistakenly listed 'Tom Walz' instead of 'Tim Walz,' the Democratic vice presidential nominee.
- Palm Beach County's elections supervisor, Wendy Sartory Link, attributed the error to an unauthorized manual change by a vendor.
- The mistake was discovered within 18 hours, and affected voters were promptly notified to download updated ballots.
- The error involved only 257 electronic ballots sent to military and overseas voters.
- Link assured that the error will not affect the proper tabulation of votes, and all intended votes for the Democratic ticket will be counted accurately.
