  • 2400 ballots sent out in total, to democrats and republicans
  • printing company sent over PDFs showing what the republican and democrat papers will look like, and the designs were approved
  • they then printed 500-700 (which is not all of all of the Republicans ballots) of the republican ballots with a "republican" label in the top right but a list of Democrat choices to vote for
  • they claim it was a printing error, without explaining why only a portion of the ballots have the wrong graphics. Or how it is even possible to change the approved PDF files into something totally different before printing.
  • printer errors don't fucking rearrange documents and change text in a way that benefits democrats.

Quote from article:

Peter said that there was no issue with the PDF proof Reliance sent over before the ballots were mailed or with the ballots sent to the clerk’s office for distribution. Bob Fetterly, the president of Reliance, called it a human error, but would not elaborate on what exactly happened or why the error only affected 500 to 700 Bernardsville Republicans.

Don't ya know? The PDF document got confused with all the 01001010011's and something in the dot matrix got screwed up leading to a processing error that cause the printer to print a wrong label.

Duh.

Vote Democrat and we'll fix it. Promise.

Exactly - this was not an “oops” - it was intentional.
