The Michigan secretary of state misprinted the Trump line on ballot...
ocelyn Benson, who has endorsed President Trump’s rival, Joe Biden, and spoke at the recent Democratic National Convention (DNC), made the apparent error. The ballot listed Jeremy Cohen as Trump’s running mate. Cohen is running for vice president on the libertarian ticket with Jo Jorgensen.
The name of the incumbent vice president, Mike Pence, was omitted altogether. Jorgensen’s line lacked a running mate, thus creating three errors on the ballot.
Over 400 incorrect ballots were downloaded from the secretary’s website by local clerks to be sent to voters. It is not clear how many were actually mailed.
The ballots were “meant to be mailed or emailed to Michigan residents living abroad under the Military and Overseas Empowerment (MOVE) Act,” the paper reported.
“Replacement” ballots will be issued to those who may have been mailed incorrect ones, according to the secretary of state’s office.
“If a voter does happen to return the incorrect ballot instead of the correct ballot, it will still count,” Benson spokeswoman Tracy Wimmer said.
“The clerk will be instructed to duplicate a vote for Trump onto a ballot for Trump/Pence.”
The secretary of state has endorsed Biden for president.
During the DNC, Benson pushed voting by mail.
“And let’s be clear: there is absolutely zero difference between voting by mail and voting absentee. Millions of Americans have been voting absentee for decades. Donald Trump, his family, his staff — they all vote by mail. In fact, in states like Colorado, Utah, and Oregon voters have been voting by mail for years. Republicans and Democrats agree: it is safe,” she said, according to ABC News.
In 2018, Biden endorsed Benson to be secretary of state.
“Jocelyn is a leader who will make Michigan proud and that is why I am supporting her,” he said.
