Human error turns every registered voter in New York county into a Democrat

An error by a printing company has made every registered voter in Nassau County, New York, a Democrat, based on the voter ID cards received in the mail this week in the Republican-leaning county. 

A spokesperson for the printing company, Phoenix Graphics, said that it was human error and is being fixed, according to NBC New York.  

About half a million of those who got their cards this week saw that they were registered as Democrats, when they were actually registered Republicans, independents or members of a different political party.

"We’re already starting to get phone calls from people, saying 'I’m a registered Republican, I’m a registered Conservative – how come I’m being identified as a Democrat? Who changed my registration?' And they’re quite upset about it," Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said, according to the outlet. 

Phoenix Graphics has taken responsibility for the error and said that the election officials had nothing to do with the incident. 

The spokesperson for the company referred to it as "an isolated event, but we apologize for our mistake, especially to Nassau County officials, who bear no responsibility for this problem."

The company also added that fixing the issue would not cost the taxpayers any money and new voter information cards would be sent out soon.
