Milwaukee County Trashes 450K Printed Election Ballots

The Milwaukee County Election Commission contracted Burton & Mayer of Menomonee Falls, WI, to print the ballots. The specs used by the printer were for newer optical scanners than the ones that are being used in Milwaukee County. Election Commission Manager Lisa Weiner told WISN that the problem lies with the placement of the arrows that voters fill in to cast their votes. However, Weiner said she wasn't pointing fingers at Burton & Mayer.
