An error on ballots mailed to voters in Baltimore’s District 1 led to inaccurate returns that cannot be counted, election officials said Wednesday, and candidates are now demanding answers from state and local leaders as they await results in several close races….<\/p>\n

In a statement issued Wednesday morning, the State Board of Elections said Maryland’s mail vendor SeaChange failed to correct an error in the ballot title for the council contest. State officials found the error while proofing ballots during the printing process, and requested SeaChange make the change.<\/p>\n

“While the error was corrected in the official voting database, the error was not corrected on a portion of the ballots that were mailed to voters in District 1,” the state Board of Elections said. “Due to this inconsistency, vote by mail ballot styles for District 1 could not be counted properly.”<\/p>\n
