WOODLAND HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles County election officials are apologizing for a misprint of more than 2,000 ballots that omitted the presidential race.
The ballots were sent to voters in the Woodland Hills area.

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder office says it was a printing error, affecting about 2,100 ballots.
Registrar Dean Logan said: "We are now in the process of alerting all affected voters in this precinct of the error by robocall and email, and tomorrow morning we will be mailing out new, corrected ballots with a letter describing the error."
"We encourage all voters to discard the faulty ballot and fill-out and return the accurate one. If they have already filled out and mailed their original ballot, we will cancel their original ballot once their new ballot is received."
The issue also caught the attention of President Donald Trump who tweeted: "11,00 North Carolina residents get incorrect voter registration forms. 2000 LA County Voters received "faulty" Ballots, with NO WAY TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT. Many others throughout USA. Here we go. This will be the most corrupt Election in American History!"

Retrograde
(10,136 posts)1. Out of more than 5 million ballots out in LA county
It's a tiny percentage. And it was caught, corrected, and the affected voters notified quickly. People do make mistakes; people who are not Trump admit them and fix their mistakes.
