Ballot Errors Create Another Headache for Poll Workers

As if workers don't , along comes the case of the misprinted ballots.

Testing done in advance of the April 3 General Election has discovered a flaw in the election ballots sent to the City of Milwaukee and 18 other municipalities in Milwaukee County, including Shorewood.

Ballots received from printer Burton & Mayer, Inc., were tested in the communities and failed to work in the optical readers. According to WISN 12, nearly 450,000 printed ballots are flawed and need to be reprinted. The county was able to get in touch with another contractor regarding a ballot reorder over the weekend.

Early in-person voting and absentee ballot voting will continue, but election inspectors will have to remake the ballots on election night, Village Clerk Sherry Grant said.

Residents who have already voted absentee will not have to resubmit a ballot, Grant added.

"All votes will be tallied and counted," Grant said.
