MN-23A: MN Sec. of State releases statement on Faribault County Ballot Misprint
ST. PAUL, Minn.-- After Rep. Peggy Bennett (R-Albert Lea) shared concerns Friday over a balloting error potentially costing her votes, the Minnesota Secretary of State released a statement.
The statement reads below:
"The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State is aware of a localized ballot error impacting Faribault County voters in State Representative District 23A. The ballots incorrectly identify the candidates parties. Seventeen ballots were issued with this error. County officials discovered the misprint on September 20 and will be pursuing corrective action through the courts including instructions for voters who already received and returned an incorrect ballot to ensure their vote is counted correctly.
This error is limited only to ballots issued by Faribault County. The ballots for State Representative District 23A issued by Freeborn, Steele, and Waseca counties accurately list the candidates parties.
