BBV-More incorrect absentee ballots surface
The problem, which was tracked to a ballot-printing company in Fresno, could affect 7,400 absentee ballots, but county officials believe the problem is smaller.
(snip)
The problem started when the wrong voter-instruction booklet was stuffed into 7,400 ballot envelopes, McPherson said.

When the printing company caught the mistake, workers pulled each envelope by hand. All of the materials in the envelope – the booklet, return envelope and absentee ballot – were separated into piles. But some of the different ballot styles were put in the wrong pile, she said.

Hmmmmm...ballot printing company in Fresno.
You'd think that when they caught their mistake, they'd be careful enough to not make another one.

2. That ballot printing company is affiliated with Diebold
It's called Central Presort. Though, from what I hear, hoping to distance themselves from the Diebold printing operation.

A more serious problem surfaced in Tulare County, with ballots printed by Diebold, where the Spanish language ballots sent out said the election was Nov 4, instead of Nov. 2. Andy just did a public records request on that.
